| This antique 19th century pitcher is an example of salt glaze stoneware and in perfect condition. Each side has an oval with two cows in relief. Dimensions are 8 inches in height x 8-1/2 inches from spout to handle x 5-1/2 inches in diameter at the base. Pottery referred to as salt glazed is created by adding common salt, sodium chloride, into the chamber of a hot kiln. The sodium acts as a flux and reacts with the silica in the clay body. A typical salt glaze piece has a glassine finish, usually with a glossy and slightly orange-peel texture, enhancing the natural color of the body beneath it. | ||||||||||||||
