Title A name given to the resource Porcelain sherd Subject The topic of the resource Sitting elegantly on a wealthy Bostonian’s sideboard, a porcelain lidded container acts as a physical embodiment of wealth and status. Accompanying the container is a collection of porcelain tableware reserved for special occasions. The cupboard, located in the kitchen where guests are entertained, is the stage upon which wealth is displayed for those lucky enough to visit such a high-class estate. Inside of the expensive, foreign-made box is a collection of personal items such as a double-toothed comb, a signet ring, and a handful of silver coins. A container of this sort made a long voyage from China in the 19th century, partly explaining its steep cost and rarity in early colonial New England. Trade networks contributed most of the early ceramics to the area, the Chinese trade network being one of less attainable and therefore higher-valued networks. Puritan values in colonial New England first emphasized simplicity and plainness. Extravagant displays of wealth were not looked favorably upon. However, over time this perspective loosened and outward signs of wealth became more acceptable in society. Having both a practical purpose for storing items and a social purpose of representing the owner’s wealth, the Chinese porcelain container remains a rare and exciting find. In Harvard Yard, a porcelain sherd reveals the range of wealth of those at the Old College. Description An account of the resource Blue and white, flat, triangular piece of Chinese porcelain.
