This halftone is a plate of pottery wares taken from a trade publication, the *American Pottery Gazette*, whose coverage of ceramics and glassware was aimed at manufacturers, dealers, and buyers in the industry. The record dates it only to the 190- decade, which places it in the early 1900s, when halftone screens let photographs of objects be printed alongside type in periodicals. Catalog-style plates like this one gave readers a way to judge shapes, decoration, and form without seeing the goods in person. The record doesn't name the specific pieces shown, so the image is best read as a snapshot of how American pottery was presented to the trade at the time.
