The
term delftware is sometimes used to describe any blue and white
ceramic item. However, authentic beautiful delftware is hand painted
by experienced artists and tin glazed by a process developed over
centuries. The results are one-of-a-kind items treasured by knowledgeable
owners.
Delftware
is named for the Dutch city of Delft. In the late 16th century, prohibition
closed Dutch breweries. Many of the vacated buildings were used by
the fledgling, but growing delftware industry. The development of
the tin glazing techniques evolved slowly through many countries from
the Orient to Italy. It was perfected by Dutch artisans.
