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.
Provenance[Otto M. Wasserman, New York]; purchased by Miss Ima Hogg, November 9, 1962; given to MFAH, by 1966.
