Unknown
early 19th century · Glazed earthenware, silver · European Sculpture and Decorative Arts
Similar in shape to black-glazed English wares of the eighteenth century, this Namur tea and coffee set is distinguished from them by its somewhat coarser potting. The ultimate inspiration for European black wares was Chinese "famille noire" porcelain—first imitated in Delft in the late seventeenth century.
