The souvenir shops of Amsterdam are full with many kind of goodies made from ceramic, they really work very well this technique and make the traditional conventional objects as well as new more modern ones.

In one of the shops i got in they even show you a video of how they work in their workshops and how important they considerate this craft as well as the crafter who makes it.

Of course i got the typical Dutch shoe it is just very cute!!.

In this image below you can click and read a short text about the Old Dutch Tiles, it is interesting to know how everything started in the 16th c.

They also work very well the wood and you can find a big variety of wooden shoes and even plain wooden shoes which you can paint and decorate yourself, sorry i do not have pictures but, i can show you this video, it is suuuuuuper cool please watch.

And i brought you these Tulips wich cannot be more typical and i do find them very sympatical to decorate any corner at home or office.

In general i found their local craft very cute especially the ceramic, it is not often that souvenir shops have nice things you can bring home, in fact just a couple of cities i visited this time had decent souvenirs in their shops, the rest have just this "made in china things" that it is not really something you want to have as a memory of your visit but in amsterdam you can find really nice objects made in Holland or Netherlands.

Oh in the Rijksmuseum website you can find two interesting web-exhibition here and here of the Dutch work with the ceramic that you will find beautiful if you are into this craft or just enjoy art in general.

That`s it for today, take care.
