English Stoneware is a high-fired ceramic produced throughout Britain for both domestic and decorative use. Strong, durable and naturally non-porous, it became widely used for storage jars, bottles, kitchen wares and later artistic pottery. Important production centres include Lambeth, Fulham, Nottingham and Derbyshire, while manufacturers such as Doulton helped elevate English stoneware into an internationally recognised decorative art form during the Victorian period. *Related Terms*\ Doulton, Doulton Lambeth, Pottery, Salt-Glazed Stoneware, Stoneware, English Ceramics.
