Salopian ware
Quick Summary
Salopian ware refers to two distinct types of pottery. The first is Roman pottery found in Shropshire, England, typically made from red or white clay. The second type, also known as Salopian ware, is a modern, somewhat coarse, and opaque porcelaneous ware from Shropshire, first produced around the late 18th century. This later ware is associated with the Caughley China Works, which produced porcelain, including a significant amount of blue-and-white "Salopian ware". This ware was known for its blue-printed designs, featuring various patterns and subjects, and notably introduced the original Willow pattern.12
