About this Item

English This book offers a comprehensive history and technical study of Delftware, the famous Dutch tin-glazed earthenware (faience) produced in Delft. Fourest examines both the historical development of Delftware (from its origins, through its golden age, to decline) and the craft techniques used in its production: clay preparation, glazing, painting and firing. The author also explores stylistic influences (Italian, Chinese, local Dutch) and situates Delftware in the broader European context of ceramics. The volume includes illustrations of typical examples, technical diagrams, and an index.
