DescriptionIn the 1770s, seeking to further refine cream-colored earthenware, Josiah Wedgwood developed a whiter clay body and added cobalt to the lead glaze formula to counteract its natural yellowish tint. The greater whiteness gave the ware a closer resemblance to porcelain, especially when decorated with blue. Many potteries produced pearlware, as it came to be called, using a variety of techniques to decorate it. Sponge-decorated wares such as this cup were popular in the second quarter of the 1800s.
