| From ancient times, Delft's history has been closely related to the house of Orange, delftware and technology. |
| Tin-glazed jugs in this style called Malling jugs are among the earliest class of English delftware. |
| It also points up the fact that delftware early went out of fashion among well-to-do families. |
| On the mantel stood a big tobacco jar of delftware with the familiar windmill pattern. |
| Three decades later, after its popularity in England was long past its zenith, Pennsylvanians still formed a market for delftware. |
| Since many pieces of English delftware are dated, they have long been held in particularly high regard by antiquarians and collectors. |
