Description
This ceramic sherd from Fort Albany, Ontario, comes from an English tin-glazed or 'Delftware' earthenware vessel. The glaze has a pink or purple tint to it, and covered both the interior and exterior surfaces of the vessel. No decoration is visible. This type of ceramic was at its peak in popularity in the 17th and 18th centuries.
