Tradition
The weekly theme for lens artists weekly photo challenge (in short LAPC) #127 is ‘precious moments’.
During a visit to the world famous Royal Delft (where they make pottery with the famous blue color), this endearing two piece was on display in the shop. Portraying a precious moment between a female figurine and male figurine. For some the traditional clothes are precious too, but I am happy not to wear clogs any more :-).

My pleasure to add to your love of Delft Blue! I prefer clogs as ornaments 🙂 but they are in a wooden form very practical at times.

Yes – and we have another small ornament pair painted with a glossy darker blue and nice design – but those went back in the attic

🙂 on a cold day standing on ice they are very warm…………… If you ever visit The Netherlands, you will find very big clogs to sit in for photo opportunities in tourist places.

I disagree a tat bit with youTina, they were very important and practical to keep feet dry and warm for farmers! And if you hang them on a wall, you can plant something in them!

Hanging them on a wall was very popular here “back in the day” Chris. So I’ll agree with that!
