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.

Robyn Ives is a collector and lecturer on English ceramics, with a particular interest in Post Medieval English pottery; tin-glazed earthenware is a class, within this field.
