label: Description
content: Catalog card with pencilled attribution to Thomas Danforth II (1731-1782) of Middletown, CT, w. 1755-1782. Probably based on reading of mark as Danforth's lion-in-gateway touch, but no supporting evidence given. Needs further research and examination.
label: Description
content: The Copp Collection contains a variety of household objects that the Copp family of Connecticut used from around 1700 until the mid-1800s. Part of the Puritan Great Migration from England to Boston, the family eventually made their home in New London County, Connecticut, where their textiles, clothes, utensils, ceramics, books, bibles, and letters provide a vivid picture of daily life. More of the collection from the Division of Home and Community Life can be viewed by searching accession number 28810.
