I wanted to share some old fragments of pottery that I dug up at a long-gone farmstead in Maryland. The house collapsed from neglect and the rubble was burned, so whole specimens of pottery are basically nonexistent (aside from a teacup, but that will be its own post). </p><p><br /></p><p>I’ve always wanted to know what these really looked like. For more info, the purple flowery piece was shattered in hundreds of fragments beside the stairs to the front door. It was pulled out of the soil when a tree uprooted. My sister attempted to piece it back together but gave up and three tons of it in the trash. So I saved one piece.</p><p><br /></p><p>The geometric green and red pieces are really odd. The only non-transfer ware examples. Very curious about that. (The yellow is to cover up my name that teenage me wrote on every find with permanent marker...)</p><p><br /></p><p>The blue transferware pitcher makes me sad because I can tell it was a really nice piece once. No marking on bottom except a little blue shape? If you can point me to a whole one with the same picture, I’d really like to own it.</p><p><br /></p><p>The black transferware is the only piece I found at the farmhouse. Just wondering if anyone might be able to match that design to whole examples.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for any leads![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
