Sweetmeat Dish

This form of sweetmeat dish is commonly known in English porcelain, but rare in tin-glazed earthenware. This example is an almost identical copy of an English porcelain version that we know was used in colonial America. The central fragment of a Bow porcelain sweetmeat dish was found archaeologically in Williamsburg at the site of the William Prentis House. This tin-glazed piece is an interesting counterpoint to the more common porcelain examples.
