Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The art of making tin-glazed tiles was brought to the Low Countries by Italian potters in the early sixteenth century. Native potters copied the technique and began to manufacture the distinctive blue and white Dutch tiles. Huge quantities were produced during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, first in Holland and later in Britain. Because the best blue and white tiles and other tin-glazed pottery came from Delft, the name of that town became associated with this ware. This book traces the history of delftware tiles, describes how they were made and explains the differences between Dutch and English tiles.
