Delftware or Delft pottery (also known as Delft Blue or simply as Delft) is a general term now used for Dutch tin-glazed earthenware (a form of faience) that first appeared in the 15th Century, heavily inspired by imported Chinese porcelain. Most of it is blue and white pottery, and the city of Delft in the Netherlands was the major center of production, but the term also covers wares with other colors made elsewhere. The style was so popular that English delftware also exists, made in London, Liverpool, and Dublin between the 16th and the late 18th Century. Delftware includes pottery objects of all descriptions, such as plates, vases, figurines, and other ornamental forms and tiles, with pieces still made to this day under companies like Royal Delft.
