<p>[QUOTE=&quot;say_it_slowly, post: 318866, member: 50&quot;]Maybe (not too surprisingly as I have many) I have a book that addresses this type of earthenware. I&#039;ve got an assortment of this type so found a book<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />. The book is <i>Painted in Blue</i> by Lois Roberts and from The Northern Ceramic Society is you&#039;re interested.</p><p><br /></p><p>They seem to call it a pagoda pattern sometimes (if it fits) pagoda and fence. At least those that have the building on them.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s hard to tell for sure from your photos but pearlware is an earthenware similar to creamware but with a bit of cobalt added to the clear glaze making it appear whiter and often where the clear glaze pools in the crevices you can see a blue cast to it. Many of these types are pearlware but occasionally the same pattern is painted on creamware and in that case the clear glaze appears more yellowish and will pool yellow or slightly greenish in the crevices.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
