To the present generation it may not be generally known that a celebrated pottery existed at Lowestoft from 1756 till 1803, and some of the most exquisite examples of Ceramic Art were there produced. Lowestoft Ware was extensively patronised by tho nobility of that period, and many interesting specimens are still treasured by their descendants. Fine examples of Old Lowestoft Ware may also be seen in the principal museums. Notable features of these beautiful reproductions to be seen at Warings are the remarkable purity and fineness of the ware and the 6oft and delicate tints of the decoration produced by the colours being entirely painted by hand underneath tho glaze, so that they can never fade or wear away. Made exclusively for Warings in the famous old Spodo Potteries of 1770.
