glazed Ware Formerly Made In Albany.
All true stoneware is salt glazed, and one of
It's chisf characteristics is the pitted or orange
peel appearance Of the surface. Stoneware Is
said to have originated In Germany some time
about the beginning Of the sixteenth century,
and a hundred and fifty years later 1t was being
made successfully in Holland and at several
places I'm England. The first prominent manu-
~facturer of this ware in the last-named country
was John Dwight OF Fulham, who, In the year
1871, took out a patent for the discovery of the
"Misterie of tho s~tonewarc, ~vulgnrly called
Cologne ware" the petition further stating
that he designed to introduce q manufacture
Of tho said wares into our kingdome OF England
where they have not hitherto bene wrought or
made" The earliest English salt glazed ware
was white, or nearly 30, and more closely ap-
preaching The character Of porcelain than tho
common gray stoneware of the present day. but
II was glazed In the same manner by throwing
into the kiln, when the heat was most intense,
common sea salt. which formed on the surface
OF the ware a thin, even, transparent deposit,
the surface OF which was covered with myriads
OF little depressions distinctly visible to the
naked eve. While the early salt-glaz ed ware Is
now rare. Example have been found in this
country which we're brought over by early set
tiers. The majority of these are Of tho better
