What is the blue and white ceramic called?
The blue and white ceramic pieces are called Delftware or faience. Delftware is a type of tin-glazed earthenware in which a white glaze is applied and then decorated with a metal oxide, such as a cobalt oxide, which gives this pottery its gorgeous blue color.
