This light blue transfer print bowl and saucer were found during the 2006 excavations of an early 1830s-1840s privy in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin. Both have the maker’s mark “Greyhound” on the bottom. The center scene on both the saucer and the inside of the bowl shows a light-colored greyhound standing and a dark-colored greyhound lying down among some bushes and flowers. In the background is a tree, and in the far background are a river and a building on a hill. Surrounding the center scene is a honeycomb design. Above that design is a series of leaves nested in alternating dark and light dots. Above that is a scrolling design. The saucer is about 5¾ inches in diameter at the rim. Nearly 40 percent of the bowl is missing, but it is about 6¼ inches in diameter at the rim and just over 3 inches tall. No information could be found about the “Greyhound” design or the maker’s mark.

Fragments of at least 49 pearlware vessels were recovered during the 1999 excavations at Second Fort Crawford in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin. These included undecorated pearlware vessels along with decorations such as transfer print, hand painted, annular designed, and edged decorated. Transfer printed vessels are the most prevalent in the pearlware assemblage from the fort, with portions of at least 23 transfer printed vessels recovered. 

The pearlware transfer print platter pictured here has large flowers surrounding the rim with a band of heartlike designs at the edge. Although this platter is broken, the remaining portion of the center scene shows two men in a boat, on a lake surrounded by flowers, shrubs, and buildings. This scene is surrounded by a white wavy band that separates it from the large flowers on the rim.
