One earthenware (lusterware) jug or pitcher, circa 1840-1860, and one small printed plate, 1882. Both are English. I won't go into how lusterware is decorated...suffice it to say that I had nightmares about remembering the details of the technique the night before my ceramics and glass exam. The small plate features a farm scene. It goes with my Berlin work farm house. They're not in the best condition, but, heck -- total cost? $1.80...in coins...from the cracks of his car seats.
What does this mean? There are treasures to be found at roadside yard sales.
The sad thing is he probably had several more dollars in coins hiding in his car seats after he bought those. :)
