English Delftware is tin-glazed earthenware produced in England from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries, inspired by the famous blue and white pottery of Delft in the Netherlands. Manufactured in centres including London, Bristol and Liverpool, English Delftware is characterised by its creamy white glaze, hand-painted decoration and charming folk-art quality. Common forms include chargers, plates, apothecary jars, tiles and decorative vessels, making antique English Delftware highly collectable. *Related Terms*\ Apothecary Jar, Delft, Delft Blue, Delft Tile, Tin-Glazed Pottery, English Ceramics.
