    Garrison did not mention that this is a surface find from near Lake Waccamaw, NC . There was an open "sprung crack" and small amount of glaze loss to one handle. I consolidated the crack with an epoxy–amine resin (w/ micro-fine Vienna Lime pigment added), topped with a thin coat of Greygate's Plastic Polish.

    I'll attach some field images ASAP.

      What happened to the cup? Is it in a personal collection now? What is the year of manufacture and possible provenance for it? It's a beautiful piece of Americana! Best regards.

        Just because you gave us perfectly good images, doesn't mean I don't want to see just a little bit more :D

        Please sir, can I have some more?--- a close up of the farmer and another of his wife when you have the time--I'd certainly like to get a better look at the clothing.

          We are in possession of the cup at this time but it belongs to the owner of the property where it was recovered. We fully anticipate a successful transfer of it and other artifacts to Tidelands’ type collection.

          Mrs Lawson, here are a couple of extra shots just for you. Sorry about the quality but I don’t know how to use the program or equipment that the montage was created on.

          You can clearly see John-Owen’s masterful repair to the glaze and handle in the first image.

            That certainly is masterful work, John-Owen. It required a look at the first picture to see the original damage to find where you repaired it. Thank you both. Fascinating!

              Thank you Garrison--I'm always interested in depictions of farming class women's clothing--and this look seems to depict a woman's apron WITH a neck strap, as well as some rather practical headgear.

                The Ashmolean has a c.1810 pitcher with that same transfer pattern. The lasted piece I have seen it on is a c.1870 press molded lunch plate.
