They are an early set made by James Macintyre pottery, Staffordshire--with an impressed stamp on the bottom of the salt cellars for Macintyre in addition to the \"B\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eritish Design Registration Diamond,\" which dates them 1842-1867. Often referred to as \"agateware\" they are not technically that; true agateware was \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003emade by combining contrasting colored clays to create marbled\/swirled patterns running all the way through the ceramic body; here that effect was achieved through marbled slip glazing. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"rQesXe MPyX\"\u003eRare to find a set like this including mustard pot, pepper shaker, and salt cellars, which would have made, from what I can discern, a complete set. Perhaps the perfect things for the holiday table, though it also strikes me that one could fill them with powders and potions now--or just enjoy looking at them! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSalts: 2 1\/2\" d x 1 1\/4\" t.

One small repair to base of pepper as documented- very well done, not visible unless turned upside down. Greening to the rim of the mustard pop, the metal (silver plate I presume) on which I have not touched. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"critical EYE Finds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67703717265662,"sku":null,"price":235.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0015\/5022\/1382\/files\/IMG_8676_20a8d5d0-cbcc-4865-95e6-1fdefdee7f96.jpg?v=1791569168","url":"https:\/\/www.criticaleyefinds.com\/products\/salt-cellars-pepper-shaker-mustard-pot-james-macintyre-pottery-agateware-marbled-slipware-set-staffordshire-c-1860s","provider":"critical EYE Finds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
