Stone jars should be employed in preference to common earthenware for the storage of honey, which acts upon the lead glaze of the latter.

For common cheap crockery a soft lead glaze, often galena, is generally used.

Lead is often indispensable to the craftsman, and with care need not become a danger; but in schools a lead glaze is positively harmful.

An amber lead glaze imparts a golden yellow to the slip-covered portions and a brownish amber to the exposed red paste.

A factory was established by an ancestor of Josiah Wedgwood about the year 1700; and on the estate of Sir George Wombwell fragments of pottery, of a coarse brown ware, with lead glaze, have been frequently found on the site of the old manufactory.
