Date:1830 - 1833 (c.)
Description:Earthenware jugs and mug. Height of mug 80mm. Cat's eye decoration was achieved by using a three-chambered slip-bottle, patented in 1811, which allowed several colours of slip to be applied at once. The slip-bottle had a hollow quill from each chamber and the potter blew into the bottle or poured the slip out onto the pot. A single drop of the three-coloured slip produced the circular design with three wedges of colour. The jugs and mug were excavated at Burslem Market Place in 1998.
