Pearlwares are undoubtedly the most common ceramic item found on the sites of the early nineteenth century and <b><i>can be distinguished from creamwares by the presence of a buildup of the bluish glaze in the crevices of the footrings</i></b> and around handles, as well as the aforementioned bluish (or grayish) tinted glaze. The approximate date range for the production of pearlware is 1779-1840.&quot; (Info per <a href="http://collections.rmsc.org/BritishPottery/Wares.html#pearlware" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://collections.rmsc.org/BritishPottery/Wares.html#pearlware" rel="nofollow">THIS </a>site.)</p><p>I can see a blue cast on the inside edge of the footring:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.antiquers.com/attachments/3d439805-e17d-4460-961b-2351d7e04aba-jpeg.320918/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
