Background

In the 15th century, in The towns of Faenza and Urbino, Italian potters created ceramics with an opaque white, tin-based glaze on fired clay, which served as a ground for polychrome enamel painting.
This Italian pottery, locally called Maiolica or Faience, was richly decorated with polychrome colors.
These wares were transported from Italy to the Netherlands.
In the 16th century, Italian potters established factories in the Netherlands, making the first polychrome Dutch Delft.
