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. Used to strain fresh berries, a cress dish is a shallow bowl pierced at the bottom for drainage and is accompanied by a matching dish.
Provenance[John Kenneth Byard (1905–1960), Silvermine, Norwalk, Connecticut]; purchased by Miss Ima Hogg, June 6, 1957; given to MFAH, by 1966.
