Jug, ca. 1647, Made in England, British, Tin-enameled earthenware, H. 10 1/8 in. (25.7 cm), Ceramics, Lambeth Factories, Save for the owners’ initials and accompanying date, this jug is typical of the functional, minimally decorated wares common in the New World. The tin glaze (essentially a lead glaze with tin oxide to make it opaque) created a water-tight seal, although the lead was prone to leeching when exposed to acidic foods and liquids
