[Ratzilla]

A smaller plate from the same hole

 

[JOETHECROW]

ORIGINAL: Ratzilla

From a mid 1840's hole, was laying on the bottom in 3 pieces...

Does that say "Eli"?

I call this one 'fishbone' pattern, also from the same 1700's pit..

 

[luckiest]

Wow. I like these, great age

This cut design is called 'scraffito', was very popular with the Pennsylvania dutch, but not to many made it as far east as Philly, where this one was dug from a 1770's era hole..

 

[Ratzilla]

Wild multicolor design, possibly English again. From an early 1700's hole.

Were these pices kind of an early interpretation of the disposable plate? The concept intrigues me.. the designs ..well, I'm an artist, and I love all of them..!

 

[Ratzilla]

Ooops, forgot the pic again, DOH!

 

[Ratzilla]

Another, very similar plate from the same hole, this one has an unusual flat outer rim.

Another funky mottled plate, from pre 1750 layer...
