Title A name given to the resource Spongeware Ceramic Sherd Subject The topic of the resource Despite political independence from Britain after the revolution, the former colonies continued to rely on Britain’s exported goods, like ceramics, in the first half of the 19th century. Spongeware began to be produced in America after the 1850’s in New Jersey and East Liverpool Ohio; however, American-made sponge ware made up a very small portion of the circulating sponge ware in the New World. Spongeware was mass produced in Britain from established factories and exported in large quantities all over the world reaching its height of popularity from the 1820’s to the 1860’s. It was more economical for Americans to done their table with British spongeware and other British Ceramics in 19th century than to look for anything “American-made” on the shelf. Sponge decoration was a technique employed for both expensive hand-painted wares and utilitarian vessels. Almost every vessel form, including table ware, tea ware, mugs, bowls, etc., are found decorated with the application of colored paint or glaze with a sponge before the application of clear glaze. The close pattern of uncut sponge decoration is commonly seen as a border design surrounding a center hand-painted design. This sponge decoration could have encircled many different motifs, like flowers, schoolhouses, or birds. While sponge ware was produced using red, yellow, pink, purple, blue, brown, and black glazes to create extraordinary designs, blue spongeware was most popular, especially within utilitarian vessels. This sherd was most likely chipped off the edge of a plate or saucer just for the piece to be replaced with another almost exactly like it.

As of 1822, students were expected to wear an outfit including a greatcoat, a waistcoat with a standing collar, bombette trousers, and a cravat (Hoffmann, 2009, 43-44). One element of this required dress stood out as an expression of class - the collar. The “white-collar” appearance was important for the 19th century man, as it alluded to wealth and status. Winslow Warren, pictured above, was a member of a prominent Massachusetts family and the third of his name to attend Harvard (Balch, 1936, 592-593). His stiff, starched white collar was most likely the result of regular laundering. Many middle and lower class men, however, could not afford this luxury, making way for the introduction of the detachable collar in the early 1800s (Friedel, 2018). Prized for its easy washability, the removable collar was generally stiff, white, and attached to a shirt with a collar stud. A collar stud featured a flat, button-like segment that could include insets or engravings (Madison County Historical Society). The steel collar stud excavated in Harvard Yard may have once featured a glass or gem inlay, indicated by the indent on its face, though no decoration remains. The popularity of the removable collar in the 19th century, which necessitated a collar stud, indicates the artifact would be from this period. Although the detachable collar became widespread during the 1800s, its initial association with the middle class suggests this stud may have belonged to a student of average or lesser means.

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.
