English term or phrase: English Delft ware

A piece of ugly looking clay which turned to be a piece of English Delft ware.
Ma to jakąś polską nazwę? O ile wiem, Delft to miejscowość w Holandii słynąca z produkcji kafelków ściennych. Zanim napiszę, że to "fajans z Delft", wolę się upewnić, czy nie chlapnę jakiejś głupoty. ;)

angielski fajans z Delft

Explanation:
Popularly known as "Delft," Dutchfaience is characteristic of the wealthy burgher society of Holland in the 16th and 17th centuries, and the Dutch obsession with Chinese porcelain.

The Dutch faience industry flourished in the last half of the 17th century, its high point occurring between 1675 and 1700. By 1650, faience potteries were centered in the city of Delft, whose name became generic for the ware. Faience was made in England as well as the Netherlands and the AIHA's collection also includes examples of English faience. In the second half of the 18th century, both Dutch and English faience were supplanted commercially by English lead-glazed earthenwares known as creamware and pearlware.
