Editing English delftware (section)

==The nature of English delftware==
English delftware pottery and its painted decoration is similar in many respects to that from Holland, but its peculiarly English quality has been commented upon: "... there is a relaxed tone and a sprightliness which is preserved throughout the history of English delftware; the overriding mood is provincial and naïve rather than urbane and sophisticated."<ref name=carnegy/> Caiger-Smith describes its mood as "ingenuous, direct, sometimes eccentric";<ref name=caiger/> and Garner talks of its "quite distinctive character".<ref name=garner/>  Its methods and techniques were simpler than those of its continental counterparts.  English tin-glaze potters rarely used the transparent overglaze applied by the more sophisticated Dutch and Italian potters.  The enamels so popular on the continent in the 18th century were used only for a short time at Liverpool, where the so-called Fazackerly wares were made.
