A significant quantity of the Asian ceramics in Museum Prinsenhof Delft was donated by the ceramics collector Willem Jan Rust (1907-1987) as part of an even larger donation. In his attempt to bring together an overview of two thousand years of global ceramic history, Rust collected widely and on a large scale. This means that it is possible to compare Asian ceramic objects in his collection with each other and with other types of ceramics in the same collection.
