Extra information:

Flow blue, also known as "flown blue," is a type of white earthenware, and occasionally porcelain, that first appeared during the Regency era in the 1820s. It was developed by Staffordshire potters in England. The style is named for the characteristic blue glaze that blurred or "flowed" during the firing process.
