Silkstone Pothouse, South Yorkshire : Chemical and Petrographic Analysis of Eighteenth-Century Glazed Wares
Author(s): Harriet White
The Silkstone pothouse is one of a number of known production centres that was involved in the manufacture of Slipwares, Mottled Ware and other glaze decorated pottery during the eighteenth century in England. This report presents the results of a scientific study of the pottery manufactured at the site. The methods used include petrographic and chemical analysis of the ceramic fabrics and chemical analysis of the glazes. Observations are made on raw material use and manufacturing technologies of the pottery and glazes, and the Silkstone products are characterised chemically and pertrographically.
