It was founded in 1661 by Cornelia Schoonhoven and Cornelis Cornelisz van der Houve. In 1668 Cornelia bought the shares of van der Houve and carried on the business with her 2 sisters Elsabeth and Maria. In 1705 the factory was sold to Pieter van Oosterwijck. Shortly after Pieter's death, his widow Margaretha van der Gucht came into possession of the factory. She remarried Johannes van Lockhorst, a potter from Rotterdam. The business stayed in the family until 1740. They were follow up by Dirck van Dijck who sold the factory in 1763 after approximately 15 years to Lambertus Sanderus. He was a gifted potter and a seasoned businessman during his ownership, the company expanded enormously. According to various sources, the factory traded during this period Delft Blue not only all over the country, but also in Europe. As a keen business man he became owner of 25% of interest in the paint mill De Paauw. The outstanding quality of the pieces that were produced at the factory during this period shows the extremely level of knowledge and craftmanship of De Klaauw factory. In the late 18th century the factory started to produce several tobacco jars. The tobacco leaves were dried on the plantations and arrived in Europe in the form of large rolls. In tobacco shops these tabacco rolls were often stored in large Dutch Delftware jars appropriately labeled with their contents of origin of the tabacco . This huge Delftware is labelled and made voor Havana leafs.
