How do I clean white tin glazed earthenware?

Dust these ceramics gently with a dry, soft cloth to remove surface particles. Avoid immersing old earthenware in water, as moisture penetrates through glaze cracks into the porous clay body.

Can I use these antique bowls for food?

Historic tin glaze contains metallic oxides and the porous body absorbs liquids over time. Display these vessels safely on walls, shelves, or tables rather than serving food from them.

How do I date a delft charger?

Examine the thickness of the earthenware body, the tint of the white glaze, and the pigment style. Seventeenth and eighteenth-century pieces often show distinct foot rims, glaze pooling, and hand-mixed mineral colours.

What is the difference between delft and faience?

Delft specifically describes tin glazed earthenware produced in the Netherlands or England. Faience serves as the broader continental term for the same ceramic technique practised in France, Spain, and Italy.
