Dutch Delft

Designed like the Chinese porcelain of the seventeenth century, Delft is named for the city in southern Holland of the same name. Delftware is typically decorated with metal oxides and a white glaze is applied. Typical Delft pieces include plates, tiles and other ornamental objects. The pieces were able to mimic the Chinese porcelain so well because of the type of glazing that was done, wherein the artist coated the entire surface, rather than just the painted part, with a tin glaze. A clear glaze would follow, which is what gives the piece its characteristic appearance.
