Delft Daft takes its queue from traditional blue and white pottery and tableware. While not all blue and white pottery is Delftware, Delftware is always blue and white. The two part print series follows a sumptuous maximalist pattern on pattern approach, pure indulgence in cool blue hues.
Two bluejays perched upon a delftware jar, everything sitting against a backdrop of our Delft Daft abstract wallpaper pattern. A playful sea of blue intricacies to take in a s whole or get lost in all the little details. Blue hued art prints are our firm favourite for kitchens and dining rooms, bringing a sense of calm to your gathering places.
Delft Daft – Jays On A Jar sits in a palette of powder blue, bright cobalt, cool white, and soft blue-grey, with flickers of teal and ink navy in the porcelain’s painted scenes – a cool, crisply cheerful combination that feels both collected and playful. Walls in a pale powder blue or a chalky off-white with a cool, slightly grey undertone will hold that palette in easy harmony, while a deeper slate or French navy creates a tonal depth that makes the cobalt birds and white porcelain sing. If you want contrast, a very soft sage or dusty jade – green being the natural complement to the print’s warm terracotta-free blues – will pull the flickers of teal forward without fighting the dominant cool temperature. The mood is witty and considered, somewhere between natural-history illustration and decorinspired by Asian ceramics, making it a natural fit for maximalist, Chinoiserie, eclectic-traditional, and modern-heritage interiors. It works beautifully in a dining room or sitting room where conversation gathers, in a reading nook, or mounted above a shelf of ceramics where the imagery rhymes with the objects below it. This print belongs to The Gathering collection, a series built around the convivial spirit of birds and animals at play, and it pairs naturally with other prints from the collection for a gallery wall full of character and warmth. It makes a considered gift for anyone who loves blue-and-white porcelain, bird illustration, or the kind of art that rewards a second look.
Printed with archival pigment inks on Enhanced Matte art paper – a smooth, gallery-grade stock with a glare-free surface – this is a museum-grade print whose soft finish works equally well in a slim white or black frame and under the ornate gilding of an antique moulding. The A4 (21 × 29.7 cm) suits a shelf grouping or a tightly curated gallery wall alongside companion prints from The Gathering; the A3 (29.7 × 42 cm) holds its own as a standalone piece above a console or sideboard; and the A2 (42 × 59.4 cm) has enough presence to anchor a chimney breast or a generous expanse of wall above a sofa. This print is also available as a ready-to-hang canvas print measuring 28 × 40 inches (70 × 100 cm), which needs no frame and suits a room where you want the image to feel bold and immediate.
