Antique English white salt-glazed stoneware lidded box, produced during the mid-18th century (circa 1750–1760) ~ Approximately 270 years old.
It is made of Staffordshire white salt-glazed stoneware.
The piece showcases a highly detailed, sharp basketweave (or wicker) pattern on the main body and lid rim, separated by a crisp chevron or herringbone decorative band.
This style of crisp, relief-molded white stoneware was famously pioneered and popularized by master potters like Thomas Whieldon and Josiah Wedgwood in Staffordshire, England, to mimic expensive imported white porcelain.
These containers were typically used on contemporary dressing tables or tea tables to hold luxury goods such as loose tea, biscuits, or powdered cosmetics.
Condition: Chips & Nibbles around the base; Small nibbles on lid underside rib.
Price: £5.00 (seriously, a fiver for a ceramic from reign of George II 😳)
