GLAZED EARTHENWARE AND GLASS FROM KIPP'S POST 



Bt C. Malcolm Watkins ' 



Specimen and Feature Nos. 



105, 110, both F-3. English green shell-edge earthenware. One of the most 

 250, F-20. popular and enduring of English ceramic products, the 



shell-edge pattern was introduced by Josiah Wedge- 

 wood in the 1770's. By 1790, it was copied widely 

 and had become a principal trade product. It re- 

 mained so until far into the 19th century. The earlier 

 examples are distinguished by light density of the 

 creamware paste, and by relative thinness (depending 

 upon the particular form of vessel), and by sharp 

 definitions of the pattern. These fragments seem to 

 correspond more with examples found in early 19th- 

 century sites, perhaps around 1815 (pi. 59, h). 



109, F-3 Chip of English Staffordshire blue transfer-printed 



white earthenware of about 1820-30. Spode, Wood, 

 Ridgway, and many others engaged in making this ex- 

 tensively exported ware (pi. 59, g). 



97, 101, both F-3 Fragments of blue transfer-printed Staffordshire tea 



slop bowl, 1820-30 (pi. 59, d, e). 



153, F-4 Olive-green blown-glass bottle fragment. Probably be- 

 fore 1830. Many American bottle glass factories 

 established after the Revolution were producing thin- 

 walled medicine and camphor bottles. This piece is 

 too small to be conclusive, however. 



149, 151, 152, F-4 Plate glass. Quite possibly mirror glass. No dating 



possible. 



120, F-3 Blue transfer-printed Staffordshire earthenware, 1820- 



1830 (pi. 59, c). 



127, F-1 From blown, cut-glass tumbler. This style of fine flat- 

 panel cutting on clear glass is found all through the 

 19th century, at least from about 1825 on. 



142, 143, F-4. 216, 217, Miscellaneous pieces of bottle and window or mirror 

 F-14. 243, 248, F-20. glass, all distorted from partial fusing in fire. Not 

 275, 276, 285, 288, diagnostic, except color and thinness may indicate 

 F-66. early 19th century or before. 



229, 230, both F-15 Probably mirror glass. Thinness suggests early 19th 



century or earlier. 



107, 115, both F-3 Blue transfer-printed Staffordshire earthenware. 1820- 



30. 



113, F-3. 128, 129, F-1. English creamware. Late 18th or early 19th century 

 180, F-8. (up to 1820).
