Background of English Delft
The art of making Delft in England dates to the mid-16th century. An English Delftware jug found at East Malling, Kent, has a silver mount hallmarked 1550 and is considered among the earliest evidence of English Delftware production.
John Stow’s Survey of London of 1598 records the arrival in 1567 of two Antwerp potters, Jasper Andries and Jacob Jansen, who produced pottery in Norwich. English Delft reached its height during the mid-18th century, with Bristol, London, Liverpool, and Lambeth among the principal centers of production.
