Backstamps of Peter Morton

Attention: Seeking additional images and examples of ceramics produced by Enoch Wood & Sons with the impressed importer's backstamp of Peter Morton, a Hartford, Connecticut, importer of English earthenware.  Two different types of backstamps are found on ceramics retailed by Morton during his time in Hartford, examples of which are illustrated below.  The first reads, "Peter Morton Hartford," and the second, "Peter Morton Importer of Earthenware Connecticut."  Please contact Dan Sousa at dsousa@historic-deerfield.org or Neil Ewins at neil.ewins@sunderland.ac.uk with any information.
