Figure 37 Plates, New England, 1840– 1885. Lead-glazed earthenware with slip decoration. D. 10 3/4" and 9 1/8". Much
caution must be used in attributing all stamped plates to Huntington. The designs on these two plates have not been found at the Huntington pottery site. They could have been made at one of the Norwalk
potteries. In this collection there are other examples of plates with stamped designs which have not come from Huntington
or Norwalk. Stamping technology surely must have been used at other American potteries from the same period. |
