Object Type
DescriptionGerman and Dutch potters introduced the technique of making salt-glazed stoneware to England in the 1600s. Durable and hygienic, salt-glazed stoneware gained great popularity in the 1700s, eventually surpassing that of delftware. While English potters made salt-glazed stoneware with various body colors and decorated it with colored slips and enamels, much was white with molded decoration and sometimes with elaborate piercings. This cup and saucer are finely slip cast with eight panels of grotesque figures, animals, and birds.
Provenance[Ginsburg & Levy, New York]; purchased by Miss Ima Hogg, October 24, 1956; given to MFAH, by 1966.
