Datesecond half 18th century
Label TextTin-glazed earthenware was produced in the Netherlands and called Delftware. It was made by immersing a low-temperature fired, porous object in a liquid glaze to which tin oxide had been added. The ware was then decorated with a color, such as cobalt blue, that required a high-temperature firing. This final firing fused the color and glaze to the ceramic body making the piece impervious to liquids and giving the ware an opaque white appearance.
