Since we have ostensibly determined that "Queensware" is virtually
meaningless in the nineteenth, and that "earthenware" can be
attributed to transferprints and other refined "whitewares", what
gives with merchants accounts of "crockery and chinaware" (1818), or
probate accounts of "Liverpool brekfast plates" (1822), or "common
earthen dinner plates" (1822)?
Unless we get lucky with a very specific descriptor, I see a major
problem in discerning even basic differences between redwares,
stonewares, yellowwares, or even whitewares in nineteenth century
merchant and probate lists ... Is that the general opinion?
