Email this article Photo Special: Sweet Rewards "Brooklyn's Eighteenth-Century Lott House" March 2, 2000 After months in the lab, artifacts are at last cleaned and pieced together, and a picture of gentrified nineteenth-century life emerges. Left, a green edgeware plate (circa 1818) from the shell pit in the west field -N22.5W2.5. Right, blue edgeware from the same trench. The molded rim is not typical. (Courtesy Brooklyn College) Found in the privy were a porcelain demitasse cup with gilding (left), a saucer with gilded rim (center), and a whiteware mug without a handle (right). These probably date to the last quarter of the nineteenth century. (Courtesy Brooklyn College) The lid of a whiteware tureen found in the privy. The purple transfer-printed design is often called aesthetic transferware. It dates to circa 1865-1880. (Courtesy Brooklyn College) Part of a porcelain chick (left) and a miniature porcelain molded pitcher with a corn design (right) found in the privy. Corn was one of the crops grown by the Lotts. Both pieces were probably used for decoration.
