Round Lake Shoreline - Ceramics

An eclectic collection of 19th to 20th Century tableware comprising various examples of the ever-popular refined white earthenware. Moulded design elements are represented by the Wheat pattern (middle right). The blue-banded and transferware patterns include a sherd with an intricate border reminiscent of the willow pattern. The robin's egg blue fragment (middle) speaks to a later era.
