Antique PearlwareUnfortunately the dust formed in the process of producing creamware was highly injurious to the potters and between 1726 and 1732 patents were taken out by Thomas Benson for grinding flints under water. About 1740 a fluid glaze was invented, traditionaly by Enoch Booth from Tunstall, and both the lead ore and flints were ground under water. The glaze was then applied to ware which had previously been fired to a biscuit, which was then refied. This glaze was slightly tinted with cobalt which made it a forerunner of the "pearlware".
