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'. 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. Char dishs were also made in creamware (see C.18-1993).referenceterm-121186adlib-term-121186044f9714-accc-390c-a380-1bbe4f97979818th Century, second half#referenceterm-107437adlib-term-10743796f4b0d1-fc11-39ff-ae91-1b23d888d479George IIIreferenceterm-106944adlib-term-1069448e183a88-c2c5-3ba8-8ced-c5e1cc027cf6literalEnglandEnglandcountryliteralLancashireLancashireregionLiverpoolbluish-whitereferenceterm-39575adlib-term-39575cdf6707a-1eeb-3622-a26b-6e54f1f8d4abtin-glazereferenceterm-42861adlib-term-428615b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956cearthenwareDiametercm20.5Heightcm4.2referencemedia-170253adlib-media-17025355ddddb4-43ac-3182-b3c7-bec8e13b8708jpegaa/aa27/C_17_1993_20_281_29.jpg1heightpixels678widthpixels76016162549179481imagejpegaa/aa27/mid_C_17_1993_20_281_29.jpg1heightpixels446widthpixels50016162549179481imagejpegaa/aa27/C_17_1993_20_281_29.jpg1heightpixels678widthpixels76016162549179481imagejpegaa/aa27/preview_C_17_1993_20_281_29.jpg1heightpixels223widthpixels25016162549179481image0media
