. Bulletin - United States National Museum. Science. pottle Basons" bought by Mercer in 1744 (fig. 68b, m. 28). .'\nother reconstructed plate, probably a Lambeth piece, has blue decoration in the Chinese manner. It dates from about 1730 to 1740 (USNM , fig. 70). Several small bowl sherds seem to range from the early to the middle 18th century. Polychrome delft is represented by only three sherds, all apparently front bowls, and none well enough defined to permit identification. There are several fragments of ointment pots, all 18th-century in shape. Three sherds of tin-enameled redware are probably continental European. Two of these have counterparts from early 17th-century contexts at Jamestown. A blue-decorated handle sherd from a large jug or posset pot is also 17th century. The predominance of early dating of tin-enamel sherds and the relatively few examples of it from any period suggest that much of what was found either was used in the Port Town or was inherited by the Mercers, probably by Catherine, and used when they were first married. It also points up the fact that deiftware early went out of fashion among well-to-do families. English fine earthenvv.\res.—The fine earthen tablewares introduced in Staffordshire early in the 18th century, largely in response to the new tea- drinking customs, are less well represented in the Marlborough artifacts than arc those made later in.
