A1982.14.169Description
Saucer having a circular body with upturned rim, standing on a foot ring, made of lead-glazed red earthenware with a band of cream-colored slip at the rim. The sugar bowl is missing its cover, which was probably flat or slightly domed with a central knob.
Lead-glazed redware was the first refined ceramic made in Staffordshire and the first to use separate bisque and glaze firing. Tea wares were the most common type of vessel made, often with decorative bands of cream-colored slip.Collection
