Delftware, or tin-glazed earthenware, was made in England from the 1500s. During the following century the industry flourished. Alongside London and Liverpool, Bristol was a leading centre of delftware production. It represented a major industry in and around the city from the 1640s through to the late 1700s.

These distinctive blue-and-white designs were exported across the globe.
