and continued to use this color
almost exclusively on cheap table
ware until about 1880. Each pot
ter had his own, characteristic bor-
der designs by means of which it Is
generally possible to distinguish the
work of the various manufacturers
It has been claimed that this
deep blue color was used because
the ware made was of an inferior
grade, frequently blistered, warped
or otherwise imperfect in body and
always showing the glaze marks Of
the cockspurs used to separate the
pieces in the kiln. BY entirely
covering the upper or outer surface
with dark blue, the blemishes were
concealed.
Potters of the present day say
that the production Of the beau
tiful, rich coloring of these old
plates is a lost art. Whether true
or not, it is fact that this recu!
liar tone Of color Is not found in
modern ware.
One of the marked peculiarities of
these old plates, frequently observed
by collectors, is the presence of
three small, rough spots in the
glaze at about equi-distaht points
around the margin of the colored
side-blemishes formed by the
"cockspurs" or 'triangles," which
were used to separate the pieces in
the sagger or fireclay case in

left their marks on the bottom OF
the plates, as will be sem on ex-
animation. These imperfections
will, therefore, be found, with
greater or less distinctneRs, OF
every piece of flatware, such as
plates, platters, saucers, and shallow
vegetable dishes, which were pro.
duced at that period and serve as
some sort Of mark Of genuilleness OF
the article.
