In the late 18th century Slipware was produced mainly as utility ware for the kitchen to be used for baking and making bread. Many provincial potteries in the United Kingdom also produced the ware. The main areas of slipware production in the 18th century were Staffordshire, London, Devon, Sussex, and Wales. Not surprisingly this ware is appreciated by the Japanese who respect and understand this flowing, spontaneous artwork with its striking decorative appeal.

Applying the trailing slip in a free form style took much skill and artistic flair with its calligraphic style. A lead glaze was used only on the inside of the dish. This slip can be trailed (eg.with a pipette) onto the earthenware body and used in various ways to decorate, such as the “combed” pattern with different color slips for extra effect. Potters use the term “Slip” for a mixture of clay and water consistency can vary but generally resembles a thick double cream.
