Description:Lantern slide showing two pottery workers dipping china.

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;

"Dipping. The scoured ware is dipped in a creamy fluid which when dried and fired forms a smooth surface of glass over the ware. This finishes the pottery so far as its utility is concerned."
