These wares range from the simple utilitarian pots to luxurious display items. Earthenware such as Italian Maiolica, Delft and French Faience was coated with a white tin-glaze as a ground for decoration in blue & white and multicolors. The designs followed the contempory fashions in decorative arts: Classical Renaissance, Chinoiserie and Rococo. Fired at low temperatures these wares were fragile and the rims chipped easily with use. Tin-glazing disappears by c.1825 and the later 19th century pottery was technically stronger and had a lead glaze.
