content: Gallon-size circular basin or bowl with narrow flat rim, rounded tapering sides and flat well; no foot ring. Partial, faint marks on underside of well include possible touchmark of a ducal coronet with element below and secondary marks of a crowned Tudor rose to right and traces of letters in a curved banner below. Probably used as an eating bowl or as a waste or slop bowl when serving tea; larger basins functioned as wash basins.
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.
