INTRODUCTION
The Morse collection of American Historical Pottery was pre
sented to the American Antiquarian Society in 1913 by Emma
DeF. Morse, of Worcester, Mass. With her husband, the late
Edwin A. Morse, she became interested in the collecting of antique
furniture and china about 1885, and gradually devoted her ener
gies primarily to the acquiring of the Staffordshire Pottery which
displayed American views. Her purpose was to obtain every
known American scene produced on this ware, in the dark blue if
possible, and failing that, in some other color, such as light blue,
brown, black or pink. So well had she succeeded, that by 1907
Alexander M. Hudnut in "American Homes and Gardens" said:
"One of the most energetic and successful collectors of the past
decade is Mrs. Emma DeF. Morse, of Worcester, Mass. She has
accomplished the almost impossible task of getting together 280
varieties of dark blue historical ware. Mrs. Morse is the fortunate
possessor of an 'Albany Theater' view and I do not know of any
one else who has it. She also has the little seven and one-half inch
'Hurl Gate, East River' plate and the six-inch 'Park Theater,'
New York, eagle border plate — both of them exceedingly rare
pieces. The old 'Capitol at Albany,' washbowl and pitcher, is
without doubt the most valuable specimen of this superb collec
tion. There are only about ten pieces scattered among the differ
ent collections of the country which Mrs. Morse needs to make
her collection complete. I do not hesitate to say that, within my
knowledge, this is the finest collection of dark blue Staffordshire
in America." In January, 1913, Mrs. Morse decided to present
the collection to the American Antiquarian Society, with the
provision that the Society should properly protect and display it.

In October, 1913, steel cases, with a perforated background and
heavy plate glass doors, were installed and the collection placed
on permanent exhibit.
The Staffordshire Pottery is especially interesting to American
collectors since the views of American buildings and scenes trans
ferred to this ware have preserved more than 200 pictures of anti
quarian value, many of which are perpetuated in no other way.
This pottery was made in Staffordshire, England, primarily for
American use, from 1821 to about 1840. Mr. R. T. H. Halsey,
in his book on Staffordshire Pottery, states that the blue coloring
was adopted at first, as it had previously proved attractive to
American housewives and was also the richest form of cheap
decoration in use at the time. He further says, " In 1831 the pro
cess of lithography so cheapened the decoration of pottery that
the beautiful dark blue was superseded by lighter colorings, which
are decidedly inferior in artistic beauty to those printed from the
deeply cut copper plate. Investigation has shown that most of
the scenes decorating the earthern ware were taken from contem
porary prints. In a number of cases original sketches by artists
were used, and in this form alone numerous early views of our
buildings and scenes have been preserved. This dark blue pottery
was made exclusively for the American market. It must certainly
be classed as Americana, and is a valuable contribution to the
history of" the nation. "
Because of the number of collectors who are interested in these
views chiefly for local reasons, specimens have become much
sought after and as a result the scarce pieces have brought exceed
ingly large prices. A thousand dollars is not an uncommon price
for a desirable specimen of which only a very few examples are
known. As long ago as 1878, Mr. William C. Prime in his intro
duction to "The China Hunter's Club" foresaw this great rise in
values when he said, "With whatever disdain the collector of
Dresden and Sevres may now look down on the blue-printed crock
eries of Clews and Wood and Ridgway, the day will come when

ceramic specimens showing our first steamboats, our first railways,
the portraits of our distinguished statesmen, soldiers, and sailors,
the openings of our canals, the various events of our wars, and our
triumphs in peace, will rank in historical collections with the
vases of Greece." Few gifts have ever been presented to the
American Antiquarian Society which have a greater value or
higher historical interest than the Morse collection of American
Historical Pottery.
The collection has been arranged in six cases by Miss Frances
C. Morse of Worcester, to whom, both for this assistance and for
her aid in the preparation of the list which follows, the Society is
much indebted. The arrangement in the cases is primarily geo
graphical, although the different colored wares are kept together.
Case I is devoted to Massachusetts and Connecticut. In Case II
are the plates of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Washington, Virginia,
and the Western States. Case 1 1 1 is devoted entirely to New York
State. In Case IV are exhibited the coats-of-arms of the States,
the pitchers, bowls, and other pieces which had to be shelved
rather than hung, and most of the ware which contains medallion
heads of Washington, Lafayette and other heroes of American
history. Cases V and VI are devoted to the light blue, brown,
black, purple and pink ware.
In the following check list, the first index is numerical, listing
the specimens as they are arranged in the cases. The measure
ments of the pieces are given, the height and width for the rect
angular pieces, the diameter for the circular pieces, and the height
for the pitchers. The second index is arranged alphabetically,
containing the names of the cities, towns, and States, the names
of the portraits, and numerous cross references. Names of makers,
when known, are given in parentheses. Initials are used, when so
given on the backs of the pieces, and are as follows:
