- Additional Information British earthenware with underglaze-printed decoration was the most popular of all the ceramic wares used in nineteenth-century Canada, and though other colours had their day, blue was the enduring favourite. Invoices show importations before 1805; by 1811 a Halifax importer was speaking of blue-printed earthenware as "now so generally used."
