The three bells factory
The Three Bells was founded in 1671. by Barbara Cornelisdr Rotteveel.
The company was located in a former brewery on the Geer at Delft.
In 1706 her grandson, Pieter Mesch, took over. Subsequent owners were his widow, Maria van Ophoven, and her second husband, Hendrik van Willigen.

In 1743, De Drie Kokken was sold to Adriaan van der Does.
The business was continued after his death by his widow and son

The pottery was auctioned in 1784 and then controlled by a company. The owners expanded the company with a number of buildings and moved the work in 1840 to the Porceleyne Clauw pottery less
