Large Saltglaze Stoneware Charger England Mid-18th Century Circa 1765
About the Item
This charger is true Americana! "George Washington considered stoneware a fashionable and practical choice for the table.
On September 28, 1757, the first of several shipments from Thomas Knox, an agent in Bristol, was sent to Washington."*
Made in England circa 1765, this large saltglaze charger is crisply molded in the Cartouche/Diaper pattern**.
It is a beautiful example of the type of pottery that was popular in Colonial America.
The combination of calcinated flint and Devonshire clay, which was used to make the charger, was a game-changer for English saltglaze stoneware as it resulted in a whiter, less drab color.
Saltglaze stoneware shards in this Cartouche/Diaper pattern were recovered archaeologically in Colonial Williamsburg.**
Dimensions: 16.5" diameter x 1.25' deep
Condition: Excellent with minimal original firing anomalies
Price: $1,280

Background of Saltglaze stoneware: The term "stoneware" is generally applied to pottery that withstood a high oven temperature of 1200-1400 centigrade such that the body has vitrified and become impervious to liquids. This ware was known as "saltglaze" because of the way it was glazed. The potters threw salt into the kilns at high fire, resulting in a finished product with a sheen and a texture much like an orange peel.
