Hello all,
I am wondering if anyone has ever come across pearlware with a star
pattern. We at Northeast Museum Services Center have seen sherds from
Minute Man National Historical Park and Salem Maritime National Historical
Park. Pattern consists of mostly haphazardly-placed stars (asterisk type)
in brown monochrome handpainting, and shell-edge type, scalloped rim in
same brown color. We are looking for other contexts/information.
Please contact me for photo!
