The popular pottery, whose glaze gives it a distinct shiny brilliance, has a long history that might make recent enthusiasts appreciate it all the more.
Originating in Delft, Netherlands, in the 1600s, delftware—also known as delft pottery, delft blue or blue delft—is a type of tin-glazed earthenware.
Authentic delft pottery is painted in entirety only by hand. The addition of the word "entirety" is important because some potteries might mark the bottom of a piece "hand painted" when only a few minor parts of the decoration are painted by hand.
The most famous delft coloring is blue painted on white, which has become an iconic brand of the Netherlands (also popularly referred to as Holland). Many other colors are also used, but since delftware was originally made to compete locally with the finer imported Chinese Ming porcelain, the blue on white was the most popular and continues to be the most well-known delft, according to the Royal Delft website less
