These dish fragments were recovered from excavations at the Pratt Delaware Mission in Wyandotte County in 1978. Two plate fragments that refit are decorated with a method called transfer printing or transferware. The other plate fragment is decorated in a transferware pattern called "shell-edged" that was popular from the late 1700s to the 1860s. The cup has a gold floral transferware pattern. The site was the second location of the Delaware Mission, operating from 1846 until the 1860s when the Delaware tribe was moved to Oklahoma.
