Description
This book traces the history of delftware tiles, describes how they were made and explains the differences between Dutch and English delftware tiles.
In the sixteenth century, the art of decorating tiles using a tin glaze was introduced to the Low Countries by Italian potters. Soon after, native potters adopted the technique, and in the centuries that followed they produced vast quantities of these beautifully ornate tiles.
In this highly illustrated book, renowned ceramics expert Hans van Lemmen explores the distinctive blue and white of delftware tiles, which has set them apart in the ceramics world for over five hundred years.
