As the demand for more colorful wares increased throughout Europe, enterprising merchants painted over their slow selling blue and white ceramics. Much of the over decorating was done in the Netherlands, where the pieces were referred to as &#8220;Amsterdams Bont&#8221; (colorful wares from Amsterdam) .
