The entire scene is rendered in just two shades of underglaze blue, and the blue-painted edge—a characteristic of some 18th-century Liverpool Delft—gracefully frames the artwork.

Background of English Delft:

The art of making Delft began in England in the Mid-1500s. An English delftware jug with a silver mount hallmarked 1550 has been found in East Malling, Kent, which is presumed to be the earliest English delftware manufacture date. John Stow’s Survey of London (1598) records the arrival in 1567 of two Antwerp potters, Jasper Andries and Jacob Jansen, in Norwich, where they made “Gally Paving Tiles and vessels for Apothecaries and others…” The production of Delft reached its high point in the mid-1700s, with Bristol, London, Liverpool, and Lambeth being the main producing centers. After that, creamware pottery began to replace Delft as the useful pottery of the English middle class.
