Lafleur House - Ceramics

This sample of ceramic sherds typifies what one might find on a late nineteenth century homestead. Specimens of refined white earthenware bear sponged, painted, and transfer-print designs, while the more durable white ironstone-ware features embossed decorative elements or copper lustre highlights. A child's teacup and several pieces of crockery round out the collection. Almost all would have been of English manufacture.
