From the ca. 1829-1860 period, HBC clerk's recorded the
ceramics as either "E'ware" (earthenware) or as "Queensware".
Additionally, the archaeological evidence confirms the near lack of
Wedgwood transfer printed wares at the site, and the near ubiquitous
presence of Spode transfer printed wares. It would seem that this
further confirms George Miller's observation that the term Queensware
was used as a generic term for earthenwares during the early to mid
19th century period, even by "proper" English clerks of the Honourable
Company itself.
