Scope note
16th- and 17th-century stoneware, particularly jugs, featuring mottled brown glaze over a greyish body that was imported into England from the Rhenish potteries, particularly those of Cologne. Tiger ware jugs were often mounted with silver in the form of neckband and lid, foot, and handle mounts. The term is also applied to English imitations such as those made by John Dwight of Fulham who founded a factory for this purpose at the end of the 17th century.
