Tin enamelled pottery : maiolica, delft, and other stanniferous faience
Edwin Atlee Barber's 1907 New York survey of tin-enamelled pottery, covering maiolica, Delft and other stanniferous faience, is a plate-caption catalogue of museum pieces from Europe, the Netherlands and Italy. The plates show covered vases, dishes and a tureen in blue-and-white and polychrome glazes, with painted scenes of landscapes, figures, Chinese-style pavilions and mythological subjects. A designer could draw on their pattern bands, rim scrolls and centred medallion compositions for ceramic or surface motifs.
