Note. The coin is approximately 19.5mm across.
Unmarked. Three views of a creamware bowl found in the hallway foundtions of the 1792 Government House, Kingston, on Norfolk Island. The bowl was probably discarded (under floor) during the construction of the house in 1792. Some of the pieces were evidently closer to burning timbers than others when the house was fired in 1814 - note the burn marks. The bowl may not be creamware, the body and surface are roughish - manufactured on a wheel. scc1792ogh.gif.
