Title A name given to the resource Tin Glazed Earthenware Sherd Subject The topic of the resource This small sherd of tin glazed earthenware gives an insight into the divided socio-economic nature that existed in the dining area at the college. The visible hand painted blue splotch was likely part of an elaborate Chinese floral design, which was particularly popular between 1690-1770’s (“Diagnostic Artifacts in Maryland” 2019). From the very start of college, freshmen were ranked by their social standing and perceived value to the community. This ranking stayed with them throughout their time at Harvard and affected many different aspects of their experience, including how they ate (Johnson 2017). Unlike the equal dining culture a Harvard student encounters today, there were a number of ways students were subject to varying degrees of wealth in the dining area. This became increasingly prominent during the 18th century as the growing desire for materialistic items was exemplified through the refined design of the dining table. This sherd was likely part of an elaborate fruit bowl, put on display in the center of a Fellows' table due to its resemblance of expensive Chinese porcelain. The expensive glazing and design process of this ceramic, known as Delftware (Hume 2001), was a particularly apparent indicator of social distinction. The owner of this sherd likely inscribed their initials on the bottom of the bowl as direct evidence of their social rank. Dining at the Fellows' Table was exclusive to those who had a higher rank and were amongst the more affluent students (“Digging Veritas” 2019).

Title A name given to the resource Tin Glazed Earthenware Sherds Subject The topic of the resource Tin Glazed Earthenware Sherds Description An account of the resource Joseph Browne, Harvard Class of 1666 These fragments are from two plates that I broke in 1664 during my sophomore year at the College. My friends and I may have had too much rum, and our rowdiness got rather out of hand. We thought it would be enjoyable to have a competition of bowling on our dormitory, but since we had no bowling balls we decided to use our plates instead. We used thin books as the pins, and rolled our plates towards them. I must have rolled mine rather hard, as it went flying down the floor, hitting the wall with a large crash. Pieces scattered all around, and I was saddened to see my favorite plate suffer such a horrid end. You see, my father had bought me this plate in Boston before my first year of College. Every student brings their own plate to the College to consume their meals with, and I had formed quite an attachment with mine. I was a large fan of the geometric blue design, as it was very popular during that time. It was a cheap English-manufactured plate, and my father had told me to be gentle with it as it was liable to shatter easily. I didn’t mind its cheapness or its fragility, as at the time I believed it looked just like a piece of fine China. But now, seeing its ruined and shattered pieces, I can finally see that it is far from being Chinese porcelain — it’s merely coarse clay glazed in white and fired.
