Description:
English pearlware shallow, molded oval dish that is part of an eighteen-piece dinner service. The dish has a green scalloped, shell-edge rim with a pierced (openwork) border with two alternating openwork patterns; the well has painted, scattered green and purplish-black floral and leaf sprigs. Many examples of green shell-edge dinnerware, a type of ceramic that was often made for export to America, have been found in archaelogical excavations in Deerfield. These pieces are typical of the type of dinnerwares used by Deerfield residents in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
