Slip-cast and moulded wares
By the mid
1850s, a few Canadian potteries were making slip-cast and moulded-pressed wares
with relief decoration. Before this time all Canadian pottery was wheel-made.
Justus Morton of New York State first introduced slip-cast wares at Brantford, Ontario.
After 1873, the major producer in Ontario of
these wares was W.E. Welding of Brantford.
In Quebec,
the Poterie Dion and Cap-Rouge Pottery Co. applied the moulding process to red
earthenware and stoneware respectively.
