Tin-glazes were known in Mesopotamia about 1000 BCE. The technique was revived around the 9th century, when potters in Iraq used tin to opacify lead glazes.
Over time the technique spread to Europe and into England. Explore how the English created their unique English Delftware; discover the techniques, decoration and influences on production.
