Marybeth,

 

You should definitely take a look at George Avery's recent edited
volume, "French Colonial Pottery: An International Conference,"
Northwestern State University of Louisiana Press, Natchitoches,
Louisiana.  It contains several articles that are pertinent to the
occurrence of faience (as well as other tin-enameled wares) in Texas.
It also has high quality color images of many of the types you are
likely to come across archaeologically. 

 

Best,

Rob Mann

Hey Folks,

 

I am a lurker on this list, but need some assistance.  I am looking for

references on Faience that would occur in the Texas area during the

colonial and Texas Revolution periods.  Any help appreciated.
