Bowl (Punch or slop bowl)

Description

Lead-glazed red earthenware as well as salt-glazed white stoneware in beverage-related forms survive with mold-applied relief decoration in the form of the British Royal Arms. So-called wasters (referring to discarded ceramics that hadn't successfully made it through the manufacturing process) of objects with such arms have been excavated at the site of Thomas Whieldon's Fenton Vivian factory (active 1747-80). Based on differences in teh modeling details of the Arms, other Staffordshire potters also were creating such wares at the time.
