Most of the “historic china,” so called, 
was made between the years 1800 and 
1830. The American market was found 
to be a rich one, and the English potter, 
with small regard for the history and trials 
of his own country, turned to the struggle 
between England and America for many 
of his designs. The battle of Bunker 
Hill, a number of sea fights, portraits of 
our heroes, the Erie Canal, Hudson River, 
cities and towns of importance and public 
buildings were all utilized to make their 
tableware and domestic crockery attract¬ 
ive to the Americans, colonists no longer.

Very little earthenware or pottery of 
any kind was in general use before the 
Revolution, and such as there was was 
confined to the coast town whither it had 
been brought by sailing vessels which 
touched at Oriental or Dutch ports. By 
the end of the eighteenth century, perhaps 
as early as 1780, money began to be quite 
plentiful with us. We felt able to im¬ 
prove our domestic services. Trenchers 
and pewter ware were old-fashioned, and 
the fine new earthenware sent over from 
Staffordshire—mind you, this included 
Wcugwood—met with a ready sale. Even 
Worcester, the aristocrat of early English 
factories, made printed ware, and their 
“Tea Party” (not the Boston one) and 
“King of Prussia” designs made by Han¬ 
cock became most popular. 
A good looking old teapot, but it will hardly 
find a purchaser 
The question sometimes arises: “If so 
much of this blue ware was sent to this 
country, what has become of it?” ’Tis
