Figure 26 Pitcher fragment, England, ca. 1815. Creamware. These fragments from Arell’s Tavern show the upper portion of a pattern with the spread eagle motif perched atop the cannon. The female figure at right, representing Peace, is torching the tools of war. The figure at left, representing Plenty, holds a sheaf of wheat and a cornucopia. See fig. 27 for the decoration that would appear beneath the cannon. Additional fragments of this pitcher have the names Georgia, Massachusetts, and New Jersey on cartouches beneath the spout.
