DescriptionGerman and Dutch potters introduced the technique of making salt-glazed stoneware to England in the seventeenth century. Durable and hygienic, salt-glazed stoneware gained great popularity in the eighteenth century, 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. Soup tureens were the largest components of a dinner service.
Provenance[H. W. Angier, M.D., Ware, Massachusetts]; purchased by Miss Ima Hogg, October 3, 1956; given to MFAH, by 1966.
