Blue and White - Stephen Earp

Delftware

This style of work was popularized by potters in Delft, Holland (possibly including members of my own family tree) and has been in continuous production for over five centuries. My delftware continues this beautiful tradition, while exploring its decorative potential for the modern home.

PLEASE NOTE: I am currently focusing on producing work made to order, rather than having a large inventory of surplus on-hand items. I will eventually return to stock-piling large amounts of available items, but for now please be patient and let me know if you are looking for something specific. In general, most orders can be filled within a span of 4-6 weeks or so.

If you need an order within a specific time frame, please contact me before ordering to schedule an appropriate delivery time.

This Day in Pottery History

As It Was In The Beginning

Apocalyptic allusions of biblical proportion aren’t ideal introductions to pottery history during, say, a pandemic. This whirlwind discussion instead reminisces on some more charitable – if highly condensed – aspects of human interaction. We begin with the “crooked but interesting” Egyptian Fatamid Caliphate and a curious phenomenon accompanying, even propelling, the diffusion of ceramic traditions […]

Let It Be

“European ceramics were forever indebted to superior Chinese efforts, once exposed to those wonders.” This nugget of received wisdom, initiated by a continent-wide, 200 year long porcelain recipe hunt, permeates the study of European ceramics from roughly the 16th century onward. That perspective even percolated down to the Fine Arts studio ceramics narrative after Bernard […]
