Description:Lantern slide demonstrating differing degrees of translucency in foreign and English ware.
This lantern slide appears to be one of a group used for a presentation or slide show by Blake entitled “Staffordshire Pottery.”
A small folder containing approximately sixty reader cards was found in the same box as the slides. The cards contain information about the images. The card that appears to correspond to this slide reads;
"Transparency. During the firing china ware changes also from opacity to a delightful translucency. In this respect English china made with bone is far superior to the foreign article."
