Armorial ware

Armorial ware

Armorial ware are ceramics decorated with a coat of arms. Armorials have been popular on European pottery from the Renaissance with examples seen on Italia Maiolica, Slipware, English and Dutch Delft, and on porcelain from the 18th century.

The term is most often associated, however, with Chinese export porcelain, often decorated with the arms and crests of Europeans and Americans from the late 17th century through the 19th century.
