The rich, yogurt-like white glaze, achieved by adding tin to the transparent glaze, served as a foundation for the development of underglaze painting and colored decoration. The low-fired clay of Delft is fragile, and over time, it tends to crumble and flake. The plain white Delft acts as a canvas that marks the passage of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the Age of Exploration, this style spread throughout Europe and was crafted primarily for use as ointment containers. However, in Japan, it was repurposed during the Edo period for use in the tea ceremony as sake cups and water vessels, where it has been highly valued.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece is made of soft-paste porcelain, characterized by its smooth, white surface reminiscent of yogurt. Its tactile quality is pleasantly moist, and the interplay of light and shadow beautifully enhances its form. Additionally, the wear and discoloration that come with age only serve to elevate the charm of the vessel. Such signs of aging are a distinctive allure of Delftware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile a one-hour water leakage test showed no signs of leakage, please note that due to its antiquity, long-term water retention cannot be guaranteed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ROCANIIRU COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50582505423129,"sku":null,"price":27900.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0688\/9911\/1193\/files\/202503256545.jpg?v=1752153246","url":"https:\/\/rcnir.com\/en-in\/products\/antique-western-ceramics-33","provider":"入蘆花（ロカニイル）","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
