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.
Provenance[Wilmer Moore, Hopewell, New Jersey]; purchased by Miss Ima Hogg, August 13, 1958; given to MFAH, by 1966.
