Matt,
That rim is more common on printed wares from the late 18th and early 19th
century. Turner was one potter that used this on printed wares. I do not
know a name for the shape. The brown lined ware was a category in the
Staffordshire potter's 1814 price fixing list and they were a little more
expensive than shell edged wares from 1814 to 1833. More information can
be found on these wares in my article "A Revised Set of CC Index Values for
Classification and Economic Scaling of English Ceramics from 1787 to 1880.
*Historical Archaeology *1991 Vol 25:1-25. Lined wares were being produced
before the 1814 Staffordshire list, and they are common on Canadian
military sites from the period of the War of 1812.
For cup and bowl shape names you can download "Common Staffordshire Cup and
Bowl Shapes" from the web site of the Maryland Archaeological Conservation
Laboratory Diagnostic Artifacts section. It was published in 2011.
Peace,
George L. Miller
