From its ninth-century origins in the Near East, the tin-glazed production process spread throughout the Mediterranean during the Middle Ages, reaching France and the Low Countries in the sixteenth century. Delftware potteries came to dominate the ceramics market in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries by frequently imitating Chinese decorative patterns. Immigrant Flemish potters established the industry in London, from where it spread to Bristol, Wincanton, Liverpool, Glasgow, Belfast, and Dublin. These potteries produced stylish earthenware vessels for the middle class, boosted by exports to America and a brisk demand for drinking cups for tea, coffee, and chocolate at home.
