has for many years had fascination
| for a few collectors. The earliest Delft
| is believed to have been an imitation
of blue and white porcelain made in
| China, and was first manufactured in
Delft. Holland, some time in the four
| teenth century. Some 200 years later
the Dutch began the manufacture of the
ware in England, and later the French
potters attempted it with considerable
success. Edwin Barber, who is col
| lector and connoisseur Of ceramics.

Delft seem to have reached the United
States, as nine out of ten examples
which have come to light show unmis-
takably their Dutch origin"
