They are coated entirely or partly with a bright blue colour resembling a glaze, but probably a fusible dip or slip containing cobalt applied before salt-glazing. The term derives from an account written by William Pitt, in his 'A Topographical History of Staffordshire', (Newcastle-under-Lyme), 1817, and repeated by Simeon Shaw in his ‘History of the Staffordshire Potteries’, (Hanley), 1829, who stated that William Littler and his brother-in-law, Aaron Wedgwood, 'first introduced a compound of very fusible materials - of certain proportions of ground zaffre with the flint and the clay that composed the body of the pottery; mixed with a determined quantity of water, and varied for the different kind of articles. Into this liquid the vessels dipped, while in the state of clay very little dried, and absorbing the water, received a very thin coating of the materials in solution, which when dried and fired in the salt-glaze oven, appeared of a fine glossy surface . . .' Both men were salt-glaze potters in the late 1740s, but from 1751 Littler moved to Longton Hall to make porcelain. Several documents of the 1750s refer to the sale of blue ware. See Mountford, 1971, and Edwards and Hampson, 2005. It is possible that this teapot could have been made at Aaron Wedgwood's factory. reference term-113159 adlib-term-113159 4bdfb4a7-b307-3dfa-a3d6-8ada4683271e 18th Century, third quarter reference term-107736 adlib-term-107736 e93a8dd1-d76d-320b-be9b-afa352e322a1 George II reference term-126113 adlib-term-126113 4cfa65e0-1893-37ac-9dfd-3ad2bf7e7a64 literal England England country Brownhills white reference term-42825 adlib-term-42825 858e5d17-b554-33d6-936f-25b16f72f39d stoneware reference term-37110 adlib-term-37110 ef92f1a8-1400-3fa3-863f-e099781ea442 salt-glaze Height cm 10 Length 15.9 reference media-47519 adlib-media-47519 a88741f0-0497-359b-9a46-1ffa9a2d1c82 jpeg aa/aa7/C_114_20_26_20A_1950_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583643065 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/mid_C_114_20_26_20A_1950_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 500 1742583643065 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/C_114_20_26_20A_1950_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583643065 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/preview_C_114_20_26_20A_1950_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1742583643065 1 image 0 media image reference media-47520 adlib-media-47520 3149fe32-df80-3423-a036-1945ba27b0f7 jpeg aa/aa7/C_114_20_26_20A_1950_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583630448 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/mid_C_114_20_26_20A_1950_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 500 1742583630448 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/C_114_20_26_20A_1950_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583630448 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/preview_C_114_20_26_20A_1950_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1742583630448 1 image 1 media image reference term-91394 adlib-term-91394 2bb189d3-6008-3a4e-abbb-eb2a240e0739 teapot reference term-107478 adlib-term-107478 81002e74-5083-37b8-a429-4a303fc40695 cover history note unknown before donor, Mrs W.
