Post Medieval (18th century)
This fabric was developed in the early 18th century as tea drinking grew in popularity and there was a need for heat-resistant ware. Forms generally date from 1720-1770 and were largely replaced by other wares such as creamware and porcelain in the second half of the 18th century. Wares of this fabric are generally identifiable by its characteristic pitted "orange peel" surface
