Delft is a place and it has been well know for producing tin-glazed earthenware for several hundred years. Much of what is called &quot;Delft&quot; is really Delft-style made elsewhere.

Much of what people are familiar with are souvenir &quot;Delft&quot; with windmills and other popular scenes.&nbsp; Much, but not all, of that is 20th Century.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
