How were delft dishes used?

These pieces functioned primarily as display items on sideboards and walls, though some served at table for dry foods or sweets. Larger chargers were frequently hung using pierced footrings, while smaller plates saw active household service before entering collector cabinets.

Are all delft dishes blue and white?

While cobalt blue dominates the surviving output, many examples utilise polychrome decoration incorporating yellow, manganese, and green. These coloured variations often feature geometric borders or floral sprays applied over the standard white tin glaze.

Where were these ceramics made?

Production centred in major ceramic hubs across England, the Netherlands, France, and Spain during the eighteenth century. English centres like Bristol and Lambeth worked alongside prolific Dutch potteries to supply domestic and export markets.

How do I care for tin glaze?

Keep these earthenware objects away from moisture and harsh cleaning agents to protect the porous clay body and fragile glaze. Display them securely on stable surfaces or specialised plate hangers to prevent accidental knocks and chipping.
