Shell Edge 10
Description:
Unscalloped edge with impressed wavy lines. The molded lines descending down from the edge are wavy and the painted band frequently follows the molded lines. Note that Shell Edge 10 is very similar to Shell Edge 02. The distinguishing characteristic is that Shell Edge 02 has a molded scalloped edge while Shell Edge 10 is executed on a vessel without a scalloped rim. Found primarily on pearlware, sometimes on early whiteware.
