Description
This ceramic sherd from Fort Albany, Ontario, comes from an English tin-glazed or 'Delftware' tile. The white glaze covered both the interior and exterior and has a pink tint to it. The exterior is decorated with hand painted blue on white floral motifs. This type of ceramic reached its peak in popularity in the 17th and 18th centuries.
