As with tablewares, Canadian potters were not really able to compete in the field of ornamental wares. What they did make was usually of a coarse, dark- bodied earthenware or of a stoneware body less refined than that of the jugs in illustration 23 or the Doulton stoneware in illustration 24. One type of ornamental pottery attempted on a limited scale by the Nova Scotia potter Henry Prescott, of James Prescott & Sons, Enfield, was the unglazed red earthenware plaque (terracotta). In this one, in date approximately 1880, and entitled "Nova Scotia Miners", a seam of coal has been introduced.
