It was also necessary to preserve food to be transported elsewhere for sale, for example, delicacies being sent to market in London. One way of preserving meat, eels, fish and shelfish was by potting them. This involved cooking them in a pot or dish, and after they had cooled, transfering them to a clean dish, and covering them with melted butter which hardened and prevented air from reaching the contents. Shallow delftware and creamware dishes decorated with fish were used for potted char, a popular delicacy in the 18th century. This fish, whose full name is the arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus), is related to the salmon, and in England is only found in deep land-locked lakes, notably Lake Windermere in Cumbria. Recipes for potted char appeared in several of the best-known 18th century cookery books, such as Elizabeth Moxon's 'English Housewifery exemplified in about Four Hundred and Fifty Receipts' (c. 1741 and ten editions by 1769). Fragments of char dishes have been found on the site of the Lancaster delftware pottery, as well as in Liverpool, where Zacchariah Barnes of the Old Haymarketpottery is said to have specialized in making char dishes to send to the Lake District. Creamware examples may also have been made in Liverpool. reference term-106779 adlib-term-106779 f0706fcd-d94c-3987-bcb5-f7f794332b6a 18th Century, Late reference term-107437 adlib-term-107437 96f4b0d1-fc11-39ff-ae91-1b23d888d479 George III reference term-106944 adlib-term-106944 8e183a88-c2c5-3ba8-8ced-c5e1cc027cf6 literal England England country Liverpool reference term-107733 adlib-term-107733 00160189-e3ce-3796-a88b-5aa8d6c808c4 lead-glaze reference term-42861 adlib-term-42861 5b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956c earthenware Diameter cm 19.5 Height cm 3.6 reference media-38120 adlib-media-38120 a6454929-512b-37e2-a722-77170380addf jpeg aa/aa3/C_18_1993_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1702926766279 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/mid_C_18_1993_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 500 1702926766279 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/C_18_1993_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1702926766279 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/preview_C_18_1993_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1702926766279 1 image 0 media image reference media-38121 adlib-media-38121 29e0880f-d160-3204-976f-19df3dd39b60 jpeg aa/aa3/C_18_1993_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1702926340852 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/mid_C_18_1993_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 500 1702926340852 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/C_18_1993_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1702926340852 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/preview_C_18_1993_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1702926340852 1 image 1 media image reference media-38122 adlib-media-38122 02ca0409-033d-33c7-842c-dcc7ce966b35 jpeg aa/aa3/C_18_1993_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1702926348201 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/mid_C_18_1993_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 500 1702926348201 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/C_18_1993_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1702926348201 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/preview_C_18_1993_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1702926348201 1 image 2 media image reference term-113612 adlib-term-113612 ed548639-c849-3a87-931d-f011e881a054 char dish object name reference term-42868 adlib-term-42868 12e3067e-2626-36c9-9d36-870f776c981f creamware category history note Passed down in the donor's family 1 same form reference object-72518 adlib-object-72518 e610a43c-d51c-3a43-83df-d6849ee03e2c
