It was introduced in the crystal expedition in 1851 and they came out with a line of dinnerware
it's a lead base glazed based pottery very porous and it's fired in a really high temperature.
So what happens over the years is the pieces continue to dry and as they dry they become
more riddling porous. So you'll see a lot of chipping and a lot of pieces that have
a lot of grazing on it you'll see because of the way it's fired at a high temperature
so, it continues to dry. This one is a fan leaf on a bamboo pitcher where this is a corn
with the corn stocks rising up from the corn it's a really natural display of outdoor motif.
You can see it in here with leafs in the fern pattern with flowers and this is Grecian Greek
border on it, so that's another continuation of the outdoor motif. Here you can see a large
leaf pattern and there's another extension of a large leaf pattern, and you'll see all
the way through with a themes in here. This is a seaweed pattern very popular made by
the Crushing Company, this is a beautiful platter behind it here's another motif with
lilly pads and water lilly's with a button on the top. So there's an earthy tone with
outdoor sea and forest motif with leafs and flowers that you'll see on a lot of these
pieces, that are in the shapes of actually shells and here's a shape of a pineapple over
here. You'll see an extension from all of these outdoors themes from high leafs to lead
glaze pottery.
