This wide bowl falls into the latter category.<br><br><b>Design & Designing</b><br>After Staffordshire potters adopted the mass-production techniques of press-moulding and slip-casting around 1740, the way was open for the development of new three-dimensional designs. These broke away from the earlier dependence on Chinese or silver prototypes and involved highly original ideas for ceramic tea- and tablewares, notably the vegetable forms that first became fashionable in porcelain in the mid-18th century. Whitish earthenware known as 'cream-coloured' was formed in moulds devised by skilled modellers (called 'blockmakers' or 'blockcutters') such as William Greatbatch (1735-1813) and the brothers Ralph (1715-1752)  and Aaron Wood (1717-1785). The addition of new translucent glazes, for example the green and yellow developed by Josiah Wedgwood (1730-1795) while working in partnership with Thomas Whieldon (1719-1786) in 1754-1759, perfectly complemented a range of superbly made tea- and coffee-wares in the form of pineapples and (the hugely popular) cauliflowers. These were made in huge numbers throughout the 1760s, gradually going out of fashion in the 1770s.","physicalDescription":"","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[],"techniques":[],"materialsAndTechniques":"Earthenware, with moulded decoration and stained lead glaze","categories":[{"text":"Ceramics","id":"THES48982"},{"text":"Tea, Coffee & Chocolate wares","id":"THES48886"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"CER","id":"THES48594"},"images":["2006AM6681","2006AT4846","2021MX2722"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"53A (VA)","id":"THES49763"},"free":"","case":"CA1","shelf":"","box":"6"}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Basin","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Staffordshire","id":"x29181"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":"probably"}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1760-1765","earliest":"1760-01-01","latest":"1765-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"7.6","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Diameter","value":"14.3","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"Dimensions checked: Registered Description; 01/01/1998 by KN","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"Probably made in Staffordshire.
