About the Item
This impressive charger is a beautiful expression of 18th-century English salt glazed stoneware, a ceramic type that was highly prized in Colonial America.
George Washington considered white salt glazed stoneware a refined and practical choice for his table.
On September 28, 1757, the first of several shipments from Thomas Knox, his agent in Bristol, was sent to him in Virginia.
In a letter dated December 26 of that year, Washington reported that part of the shipment had arrived “incomplete with two things broke,” a testament to how much he valued these imported wares.
Made in England circa 1765, this large charger is crisply molded in the Cartouche/Diaper pattern, a bold and sculptural design characteristic of the finest salt glazed wares of the mid-18th century. The clarity of the white body is the result of an innovative blend of calcinated flint and Devonshire clay, which transformed English stoneware by producing a lighter, cleaner surface that set it apart from earlier, darker-bodied pottery.
Salt glazed stoneware of this kind was widely used in American colonial households, and archaeological excavations at Colonial Williamsburg have uncovered shards in the Cartouche/Diaper pattern, confirming its popularity in the colonies.
(See: Salt-Glazed Stoneware in Early America, Skerry & Hood, pp. 140, 136, 233.)
This charger stands as both a striking decorative piece and a tangible link to the material culture of early America.

About Salt Glazed Stoneware:
Salt glaze stoneware was fired at high temperatures (1200–1400°C), vitrifying the body and rendering it naturally impervious to liquids. Its name comes from the glazing technique—salt was thrown into the kiln during firing, producing a thin, glossy surface with a softly pebbled texture often likened to orange peel.
