Delft

The delfts would be so flown with waters, that no gins or machines could […] keep them dry.

Here and there was an Italian cabinet surmounted with Delft, and here and there a bas-relief.

Sepia Delft tiles surrounded the fireplace, their crudely drawn Biblical scenes in faded cyclamen blending with the pinkish pine, while above them, instead of a mantelshelf, there was an archway high enough to form a balcony with slender balusters and a tapestry-hung wall behind.
