BLACK OR BBOWN WARE. 



(Blackened by use on the fire; not polished.) 



This ware, when first made and before use, varies in shade from dark 

 earth color to reddish-brown, but the soot, smoke, and fire, when in use, 

 soon darken it ; hence it is usually described as black ware. The articles 

 are used for cooking purposes, such as pots — which are usually pot- 

 shaped — some without handles and some with a handle on one side, 

 bow's, &c. The pots vary in capacity from a pint to a little over a 

 gallon.
