Dutch Kitchen Set – Apron, Mitt, and Potholder

Updated at 2025-10-14

This set from the Netherlands includes an apron, oven mitt, potholder, and drawstring pouch, decorated with motifs iconic to Dutch identity—windmills, tulips, and traditional wooden clogs. The apron, mitt, and potholder feature fine blue-and-white patterns reminiscent of Delftware ceramics, themselves inspired by Chinese blue-and-white porcelain in the 16th century. The pouch, by contrast, uses bright, playful colors, adding a rustic charm.
