Figure 2 Teabowl fragment, John Bartlam, Cain Hoy, South Carolina, 1765–1770. Soft-paste porcelain. (Courtesy, South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology; photo, Gavin Ashworth.) Note the deteriorated glaze resulting in a thick brown patina found on many of the Bartlam porcelain fragments. This material was carefully scraped away to reveal the underlying blue decoration. |
