Blue ditto, Colliflower ditto, Cream colour’d coffee-cups & sausers, Tortoise-shell bowles, enamel’d flat bottom cups.” The cream-colored wares of Wedgwood and of Liverpool make, were evidently just beginning to be fashionable, though the latter had been named in the _Boston Gazette_ as early as 1749. In 1780 we first see the advertisement of Queen’s ware in the _Providence Gazette_, the _Connecticut Courant_, the Boston newspapers. In October, 1783, “An Assortment of Yellow ware such as cups, saucers, mugs,” was advertised in the _Providence Gazette_, and again “Yellow ware both flat and hollow,” meaning plates and pitchers. Yellow ware was Liverpool ware, and is still so called by country people on the sea-coast. In 1783 there came into Baltimore, on the ship Brothers, from Liverpool, “Queen’s ware & Liverpool ware,” and on the ship Yungfrau Magretha, from Copenhagen, more Queen’s ware; and on the ship Pacifique, from France, “boxes and barrels of china ware;” and on the ship Candidus, from Amsterdam, “Delph ware”—and these vessels with their cargoes were all advertised at the same date, bewildering Baltimore housewives with the array of “richness.” Then came announcements of “burnt china”—as if it were not all burnt! In May, 1785, “Beautiful Pencil Chinney Tile,” and then frequent announcements of “Pencil China,” “Pencil ware,” “Pensil’d Yellow ware,” all of which were one and the same—Liverpool ware printed with engraved designs. “Enameled ware” doubtless meant glazed ware, and was so called to distinguish it from the unglazed wares of Wedgwood. The “Amiled Milk Pots” in the _Boston Evening Post_ of 1749 were doubtless also enamelled. In 1784 and 1785, in all American newspapers of note appeared announcements of sales of Nottingham ware, a favorite importation before the war. Soon, with the growth of ship-building and Oriental trade, came the vast influx of Oriental porcelain direct from China, and advertisements of Canton china crowded the columns of every American newspaper.
