This family has been put together on the strength of their names and patronymics and their appearance in the Delft church registers as witnesses at baptisms - there is nothing cast-iron about any of it.

children of Tonis Symonsz. van der Piet and Lysbetge Dircx Simon Tonisz. van der Piet 5 potter (plateelbakker) 6 Notes: Around 1621 Simon Toenis van der Piet of Delft, bought up the Tile factory on the Schritsen ( corner of Raamstraat and Schritsen) in Harlingen, Friesland, originally established by Steffen Gunter the elder in 1598. Simon's wife, Maritgen Jansdr. van der Laan signed a contract in 1637 with the tilemaker Adriaen Cornelis van Leeuwen from Delft, which required him to move as speedily as possible to Harlingen where he was to spend a year painting saucers and tiles for Van der Piet. The contract names prices as follows: 'fijne schutters', 36 stuyvers per 100 stuks; 'slechte mannekes', 24 stuyvers per 100 stuks; 'slechte stien' (eenvoudige tegels), 16 stuyvers per 100 stuks; 'scheepjes of ruiters te paard', 2 gld. en 10 stuyvers per 100 stuks. Van der Piet's pottery was not, however, a large concern. According to an inventory of 1639 there were 2000 unbaked tiles. It seems likely that, at that time, they were already usring red, yellow, green and deep yellow colouring for their tiles, the traditional Harlinger colours. In 1681 the factory was take over by Pytter Pytterse Grauda and Jan Folekerts Grauda for 2200 gulden.
