Title A name given to the resource Brown transferware ceramic sherd Subject The topic of the resource How do you portray yourself to the world? Maybe by your clothing’s brands, cellphone case, or sports equipment. At nineteenth century Harvard, a student might have expressed their individualism through dishware. From its start, Harvard required students to provide their own dishware (Morison 2006). Even into the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, there was no standardization in kitchen-related items (Stubbs 1992). This means students could express their personality – and wealth – through dishware. This object is a brown transferware ceramic sherd with floral motifs and was most likely produced between the 1830s and 1840s. Brown was most commonly used in ceramic printing in the 1830s (Miller 1984:44; Samford 1997). Floral designs were popular in transferprint throughout the 1800s, but this edge design was most common between 1829 and 1843 (Samford 1997). Finally, the stippled effect, or tiny dots in the image, was created through bat printing (Stelle 2001). Bat printing (also known as cold or overglaze printing) was a form of transfer printing underneath ceramic glaze that was most popular in the first half of the nineteenth century (Samford 1997). Together, this helps us date this sherd to the first half of the nineteenth century. The student who owned this was up-to-date with high society ceramic trends because of its unique brown color and intricate flower design. So, the next time you get dressed or pick up your phone, think about how future archaeologists might see your personality shine through these everyday items.
