Exquisite! The video and the art itself.

One of the fascinating things about authentic Delft ware is the fact that the glaze does not craze with age. Something that is common with porcelain or stoneware but not so much with ceramics fired at lower temperatures.

I've always loved the colors blue and white together, and love Delftware. I have a few pieces of Delftware, but my dishes are all store-bought Blue Willow. I'd love to know more about the history of that design, as well as what I've heard of the technique referred to as 'Flow Blue'.

Hello, I love the blue willow pattern too and I have a set of ware in it. I was calling ware 'delph'. In Ireland, in the past more so, delph was what earthenware kitchen dishes were called. I'm 48 and recall my grandmother, in the 1980s, using that word. I wonder was modern blue willow design, copied from China or Japan? God bless and happy New Year from Ireland xx 5th of January 2022.

@@mathonamoore123 I'm afraid I know so little about it - I started falling in love with Blue Willow when I was a child. I read a book of the same name about a little girl during the Great Depression who only has one thing of beauty - a Blue Willow plate that had belonged to her late mother. It was a charming book, and it got me started on the pattern. And, God bless, and Happy New Year to you, from the Ozarks. :)

@@curiousworld7912 hello, thank you for your reply. I have this well to do aunt and she has many cabinets of antique china delph but also lots of blue willow items. I remember, as a child, thinking some day ill have these dishes in my kitchen lol I finally bought a dinner set, in my late 20s but it was just slightly over average price of a 6 piece dinner set. Ideally, I'd only have all that design but I don't think it's practical, to get rid of other delph, it's perfect lol Happy New Year from Ireland xx

Black Delft is as beautiful as it is rare. Japan's lacquer is stunning, though. Since I'm currently studying it, I appreciate the new French vocab: feu = 🔥
