In addition to being immortalised on crockery Ms (?) Lind also had her portrait made into a clay tobacco pipe bowl from at least one of the major Scottish late 19th century exporters (see the BAR International Series volume for the Scottish manufacturer price lists).
These firms made portrait pipes of Lind and other famous performers / statespeople / celebrities, and indicates that their appeal was strong in Britain and colonies as well as frontier USA.

Does anyone know who Jenny Lind was? The name rings loud bells but....
A very mid-Victorian type portrait (black transferware) with the name
(Jen)ny Lind printed over it.
With Thanks, Robert
