Printing in a single color on earthenware and stoneware 1780-1820
Additional Image:
The characters of the mark are irregularly positioned suggesting each character was individually impressed. However, the same irregularities are found in other Davenport pieces proving the use of a somewhat irregular stamp. The mark is 1.125 inches long and .125 inches high. The impressed mark also has a double stock (crossbar) apparently made from the impression of a screw head. This would indicate that the upper and lower case mark was produced with a metal stamp attached to a handle with a single screw.
