| Comentarios: | Bristol glazing was developed in Bristol, England in 1835, began to be used by American stoneware potters soon afterwards. It soon replaced much of the brown salt glazed stoneware that was used for utilitarian wares. Bristol Glaze is a feldspathic glaze-slip using zinc oxide, that requires only a single firing. It is sometimes called "double glazed ware" because the two-toned effect required dipping each vessel in the glaze two times. Although Bristol two-tone pottery is most commonly reported in bottle forms from American archaeological sites, the glaze is also found on stoneware crocks, jars and other utilitarian items. |
