今天在一家旧货店，看到一个来自风车王国带有清楚纪年款的荷兰青花陶餐巾纸套圈：1902年1月16日：

那时候，咱大清国的老佛爷和皇帝老儿还没有被袁世凯和革命党推翻，孙大炮还在日本欧洲和全世界到处流亡。红头发绿鼻子蓝眼睛的洋鬼子荷兰人都已经成立了美利坚荷兰协会，总部设在了世界的魔都纽约。

• The Holland Society of New York is a historical and genealogical society founded to collect and preserve information respecting the early history and settlement of New Netherland by the Dutch. The Society was incorporated on May 1st, 1885, by a group of gentlemen descended from the original settlers of New Netherland. 

其实这荷兰的蓝，就是咱河南的蓝，也就是咱中国蓝，是江西景德镇烧制元青花的钴蓝。不过人家荷兰人坚持了四百多年烧制出来的东西不叫瓷器，叫Delft Blue陶器，中文的说法，是代尔夫特蓝陶。

• Delft Blue since 1653 - Royal Delft has been creating high-quality Delft Blue since 1653. This age-old craft is passed on from generation to generation and iconic masterpieces are still made entirely by hand in Delft. In addition to classic pieces, the collection also includes contemporary decorations. Royal Delft, the only original remaining Delft pottery factory from that time, has been making stylish and iconic Delft Blue for almost 400 years.

不在东西做得好不好，而在于人家的那一份坚持。
