Product Description
Blue and white delft pottery in our collections is the inspiration behind the WILLIAMSBURG Delft Tile Table Linens collection. These table linens' classic blue and white design add a traditional feel while blending effortlessly with modern sensibilities. We love them paired with neutral cream dinnerware for a classic look or with brightly-painted earthenware for historic charm and contrast. Purchase additional Delft Tile home accents in our shop to complete the look.

Inspiration
The Art Museums of Colonial Williamsburg collections include numerous examples of delft pottery.
The curators note, "Earthenware coated with a lead-glaze that contains tin oxide was commonly known as delft in the 18th century. The majority of delft used in America was produced in England rather than Holland. Aesthetically it had more in common with Chinese porcelain than with other European Earthenware, and it often closely mimicked Asian designs. Imported English delft was found throughout the Chesapeake and used everywhere from gentry dining rooms to apothecary shops."
Visit the museum in person or explore our digital collections online. You can also spot reproduction delft china in our Apothecary trade shop in the historic area.
