Figure 4 Mug fragment, probably Huntington, New York, 1805–1860.
Lead-glazed earthenware daubed with manganese oxide. D. 3 1/2". This fragment of a tankard was found during the removal of a Victorian porch from a ca. 1680–1700 house in Mt. Sinai, Long Island. It is similar in all ways to the mugs illustrated in fig. 3. A similar tankard appears in the 1837 William Sydney Mount painting The Long Story. |
