Figure 12 Mug, Staffordshire or Yorkshire, ca. 17901810. China
glaze. H. 6 1/4". Polychrome-painted China glaze mugs
are much less common than blue-painted ones. The introduction date for
underglaze-painted colors has not been documented. One reason that polychrome
pieces may be less common is that blue-painted patterns began twenty years
before the polychrome-painted patterns were introduced. |
