DescriptionIn the mid-1700s, English potters developed a light- or cream-colored earthenware body that, when coated with a lead glaze, yielded wares with a glassy, shiny surface. Josiah Wedgwood continued to refine this pottery, which he later called “Queens’ Ware” because of a commission he received from Queen Charlotte in 1765. Many potteries produced these wares, employing numerous techniques to decorate them. In 1759, Wedgwood and Thomas Whieldon developed a rich, green glaze for such wares.
Provenance[Milly McGehee Americana, Dallas]; purchased by MFAH, 1983.
