Description:
English pearlware, cylindrical mug covered with slip decoration, also known as mocha, banded, or dipped ware. The top section of the outside of the straight-sided mug has narrow white band, over a slate blue band, over a narrow white, ribbed band; over a marbled slip in brown, rust, cream, blue-grey, and dendritic splotches of blue and green-grey. The white, ribbed strap handle has leaf terminals. This piece was formerly in the collection of John B. Morris, Jr., given to Deerfield Academy (#2063/6). 64), and then purchased from DA in 1981. According to author Jonathan Rickard, fragments of this style of dipped decoration have been found in the Tortola harbor in a c. 1780 context. Other examples of this type of mug have remnants of gilding on the rim.
