洛洛,下面是偶找到的关于delft china的历史。:) 还有我觉得stoneware还是陶器,陶器上了色也漂亮,可是比起瓷来还是要厚重。
笑嘻嘻,你们那里肯定也有卖厨具餐具的店,要不大百货店。肯定有好东西的。
BLUE TILES
From about 1620 the well-known blue tiles appeared beside the polychrome ones. On blue tiles, the pattern is painted in blue on the opaque white tin-glaze sub-layer. Why in blue?
About the year 1602 the first blue Chinese porcelain came to Holland as a result of the trade with China. Millions of China bowls, jugs and dishes were shipped to Amsterdam by the East Indian Company. From Amsterdam the costly China was further traded through Europe. This Chinese porcelain was much in demand and expensive. The Delft potters and those in other towns tried to imitate the Chinese porcelain and applied the Chinese decorations to the earthenware they made. Between 1640 and 1800 Chinese porcelain was most successfully imitated in Delft. The potters called themselves "potters of China". This was not correct because the products they made were of earthenware (in Europe the process of making China porcelain was not yet known at that time).
Porcelain was first made in Germany in 1709. With the imitation of the blue China imported from China, also blue tiles made their appearance. The "DELFT BLUE" became world famous, to such an extend that it became the general name for all earthenware objects and tiles which were painted in the same blue color, even if they not had been made in Delft. "Delft blue" is known all over the world. With prosperity in general on the increase, tiles became to be more in demand.
