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.
Provenance[Marguerite Thomas, New Haven, Connecticut]; purchased by Miss Ima Hogg, October 2, 1958; given to MFAH, by 1966.
