Does anyone have any references to 19th or early 20th century Chinese
artifacts in non-Chinese households. I have two shouldered storage jars found
on the burned floorboards of a British immigrant family from 1875 in Virginia
City, NV.
Priscilla Wegars stated she does not know of a site where storage jars were
encountered in a non-Chinese context. A Chinese servant is not an option since
the house was in a working class neighborhood and the house was only about 12 X
15 feet in size.
I was hoping for some other references where Chinese were not the only ones re-
using these common jars.
On or off list is fine at [log in to unmask] Thank you.
