Here is a whiteware shell edge or feathered edge platter. It is deeply incised with blue feathering.

By its characteristics, we would date it to the 1810 - 25 period. It is marked only with the imprinted term, Best Goods.
Whiteware came into vogue after creamware and before ironstone. The body is thicker than creamware, and it is harder. Sometimes one can find little blue dots within the body with close inspection.
This platter measures 17 by 13. It is in fine condition, free of chips, cracks, and restorations. |
