The lead in the glass permitted it to fuse at a lower temperature, but also made it prone to warp or collapse during firing. This is shown by many warped waster fragments excavated on the site. reference term-106451 adlib-term-106451 9cdfd62c-ee07-3884-ae08-c797aad08631 18th Century, Mid reference term-110389 adlib-term-110389 6a581738-18db-3f82-921a-35963516d3cf literal England England country Longton Hall except for the base reference term-107733 adlib-term-107733 00160189-e3ce-3796-a88b-5aa8d6c808c4 lead-glaze reference term-110435 adlib-term-110435 e614019a-82f0-327e-bf59-f4b8242e1854 glassy soft-paste porcelain Depth cm 9.9 Height cm 12.4 Width cm 16.1 reference term-107454 adlib-term-107454 6ca0f2ab-c1f8-329d-8a45-8f1322f53a20 figure history note Sir Hercules Read; sold Sotheby's, 6 November 1928, Catalogue of the varied and extensive collection of works of art, the property of Sir Hercules Read, 2nd day, part of lot 192; purchased by Hunt (or Hant) for £18 for both parts for Dr J.W.L.
