MAGIC TEAPOT_HMS:Delft blue is a type of faience (earthenware) with blue decoration, traditionally made in Delft. It originated at the end of the 16th century as a cheap alternative to the blue and white Chinese porcelain. The Delft blue became very popular in a short period of time and flourished in the period 1650-1750, when there were about a hundred pottery factories in Delft. The industry was wiped out around 1800 by cheaper pottery, especially from England (Staffordshire). Nowadays there is only one factory in Delft that produces 'real' Delft blue. Other types of Delft pottery are the multicoloured Farmer's Delftware and the Delftware white.
