Tea and coffee set (teapot, coffeepot, milk jug, sugar bowl)

Belgian, Namur

Not on view

Similar in shape to black-glazed English wares of the eighteenth century, this Namur tea and coffee set is distinguished from them by its somewhat coarser potting. The ultimate inspiration for European black wares was Chinese "famille noire" porcelain—first imitated in Delft in the late seventeenth century.
