Flow Blue

Flow Blue loving cup - J & R Godwin c1845

Flow Blue was first made in Staffordshire about 1825. It's thought to have occurred by accident and this attractive mistake was then developed and exploited by adding chlorine to the kiln which caused the colour to spread and blur - thus flow blue. Below is an early example from the 1840s. For more details see Premier Antiques
