Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

English Delftware is a type of tin-glazed earthenware produced in Britain from the late sixteenth century through the late eighteenth century. Inspired by Dutch Delftware and Chinese porcelain, it features lead glaze opaque-white coated with tin oxide and decorated with cobalt blue oxides before firing.

Craftsmen formed the plates from local clay, gave them an initial biscuit firing, and dipped them into a liquid tin-glaze slurry. Metal oxide pigments, most commonly cobalt blue, were painted directly onto the unfired glaze surface before a final kiln firing fused the glaze and decoration together.

Authentic pieces generally show a soft red or buff earthenware body beneath the glaze, rim glaze loss or rim flaking due to the brittleness of tin glaze, and pinholes or firing irregularities on the underside. They lack modern factory marks and exhibit hand-painted brushwork characteristic of the period.

Delft chargers are frequently displayed on brass plate stands, arranged in wall-mounted ceramic gallery groupings, or placed upright inside open kitchen dressers and sideboards to introduce pattern and historical colour contrast.

Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth or dry brush. Avoid immersing tin-glazed earthenware in water or using abrasive chemical cleaners, as water can penetrate rim chips and cause glaze destabilisation over time.
