Slip decoration of pottery dates back to primitive China, Peru and Cyprus. In this form of ware the decoration is produced by liquid clay painted onto the surface of the vessel in a contrasting color. Britain created its earliest slipware in the Roman period, but most collector’s items date from the seventeenth century on. Usually the body of the dish, mug, or pot was the natural red color of the clay. The slip of contrasting clay was either painted on by brush, poured on by a slip trailer, or blown on through a tube. The slip could be made from natural brown or white clay mixed with water, and metallic oxides added for other colors.
