Taking a lurid approach to classical antiquity – the Apollo art diary pick of the week, opening soon at the Liebieghaus Skulpturensammlung: https://www.apollo-magazine.com/art-diary/gods-in-color/
The earliest delftware was a faience, a heavy, brown earthenware with opaque white glaze and polychrome decoration, made in the late 16th cent. Some of the earliest imitations of Chinese and Japanese porcelain were made at Delft in the 17th cent. Delft was important as a pottery center from the mid-17th cent. to the end of the 18th cent. By 1850 little of the industry survived. The name delft is also often applied to the wares of similar nature made in 17th-century London, Bristol, and Liverpool.

A Ticket, a Lie and a British Official’s Lurid Fall
By JOHN F. BURNS
LONDON — A traffic violation 10 years ago has led to the downfall of the
British cabinet minister Chris Huhne and put the intimate details of
his former marriage on display.
London Needs Full Inquest Into Bumi Scandal As financial scandals go, the Libor scandal has it all—well, nearly all. It involves big global banks; lavishly-paid traders, some barely out of university; lurid emails; exotic markets; the humbling of high ranking executives; vast fines and possible criminal proceedings. All that is missing is one essential ingredient: a clearly identifiable victim.

Usage: English
Pronounced: gah-DIE-va
Means "gift of god" from Old English god combined with gyfu "gift".
Godiva (Godgifu) (d. between 1057 and 1086). Wife of Earl Leofric of Mercia. To obtain her request that Coventry be relieved of a heavy toll, she is alleged to have ridden naked through the market. The legend obscures her reputation as benefactress of religious establishments. She and Leofric were buried in their Coventry church. Roger of Wendover in the 13th cent. first related her ride; 18th-cent. writers embellished it with picturesque detail like ‘Peeping Tom’.
Godiva
[gədáivə] [名]（“Lady Godiva”）, ゴダイバ（？-1057）：英国のLeofric伯の妻. ▼白昼Coventryの町を裸で白馬を乗り回し, 夫が住民に課していた重税を廃止させた.
"大都認為Godiva英文發音為「哥黛華」，法文發音為「歌蒂華」，也就是說，Godiva是英國人，如果是指人名，應念為「哥黛華」（重音在第二音節），一旦轉化為源於比利時的巧克力，Godiva就要念成「歌蒂華」（重音在第一音節）"
