Two mending base/body/rim sherds from a small shell edge pearlware plate. The shell edge is decorated in underglaze painted blue. The base has moderate use-wear and does not have a footring. The rim is a rococo-style shell edge with impressed curved lines and unevenly scalloped rim. The plate is shallow, measuring just 0.75 inches in height, and the rim diameter is unmeasurable. Consists of two mended sherds.
