These crushed granules were applied to a wet slip ground, and could be either left whole as rough encrustation or rolled into the surface and eventually cleaned up on the lathe to give a smooth, finely dappled surface. This technique is known as 'Terra Tersia', tersia being a common term in the eighteenth century for certain types of marquetry or veneer.","physicalDescription":"Teapot and cover of cream-coloured earthenware, partly decorated with terra tersia in coloured clay.","artistMakerPerson":[],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"Leeds Pottery","id":"A9159"},"association":{"text":"maker","id":"x40240"},"note":""}],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"earthenware","id":"x29356"},{"text":"clay","id":"AAT10439"}],"techniques":[],"materialsAndTechniques":"Earthenware decorated with terra tersia in coloured clay","categories":[{"text":"Ceramics","id":"THES48982"},{"text":"Earthenware","id":"THES48964"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"CER","id":"THES48594"},"images":["2010EG2055"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"138 (VA)","id":"THES49875"},"free":"","case":"12","shelf":"6","box":""},{"current":{"text":"138 (VA)","id":"THES49875"},"free":"","case":"12","shelf":"6","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"teapot body","id":""}],[{"text":"teapot cover","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Leeds","id":"x28967"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"ca. 1790-1800","earliest":"1785-01-01","latest":"1800-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Transferred from the Museum of Practical Geology, Jermyn Street","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"10","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Diameter","value":"9.3","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"conversion","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"'LEEDS POTTERY'","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"Impressed to footring"}],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Teapot and cover of cream-coloured earthenware, partly decorated with terra tersia in coloured clay, Leeds Pottery, Leeds, ca. 1790-1800.","bibliographicReferences":[],"production":"","productionType":{"text":"Mass produced","id":"THES48863"},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[{"text":"marbling","id":"AAT53812"}],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[],"partNumbers":["3572-1901","3572A-1901"],"accessionNumberNum":"3572","accessionNumberPrefix":"","accessionYear":1901,"otherNumbers":[],"copyNumber":"","aspects":["WHOLE","teapot body","teapot cover"],"assets":[],"recordModificationDate":"2025-06-13","recordCreationDate":"2009-01-29","availableToBook":false}}
