Though all the plates, pitchers, and basins which bear this beautiful dark blue design are unstamped and unmarked, it is well known that it is a view of Mr. Lawrence’s handsome house, which stood on Winter Street, Boston. It is a view of a large three-storied double mansion, surmounted by a steeple which at first sight seems a part of the house, but which is intended for the steeple of the Park Street Church in the background. A garden is on one side of the house. It has a clear vine-leaf border. 154. Boston. Warehouse. Adams. This is a rich plate printed in clear dark blue, with a design showing Boston streets and buildings. A large warehouse stands at the right, on the left a block of buildings, and in the background the wharves and harbor with shipping. The beautiful border is formed on the top and sides by a design of trees with foliage. On the back is the stamp, in blue, “Mitchell & Freemans China and Glass Warehouse Chatham St. Boston Mass.;” also the impressed mark, “Adams.” No doubt these plates were made at the order of the Boston firm whose name they bear. I have known of but four pieces with this design. A plate may be seen at the rooms of the Bostonian Society, in the old State-House in Boston. 155. Boston. Almshouse. A view printed in dark blue of the old Almshouse on Leverett Street. The border is the beautiful design of vine leaves like that on No. 144, and the plates and platters have a white edge. Mark on back, “Almshouse Boston.” 156. Boston Mails. Plate printed in brown or black. The border contains the figures of four steamships with these names severally printed under them—Acadia, Columbia, Caledonia, Britannia. In the centre is a view labelled “Gentlemen’s Cabin.” Mark on the back, “Boston Mails.” These plates were doubtless printed to commemorate the opening of the first line of steamships between Liverpool and Boston. I have seen the date of the first trip given as July, 1840, when the Britannia arrived in Boston. [Illustration: John Hancock’s House.] 157. Boston. John Hancock’s House.
