A revised set of CC index values for Classification and Economic Scaling of english ceramics from 1787 to 1880

This paper presents an updated and expanded set of CC index values for plates, teas, and bowls for the period 1787 to 1880. It is meant to replace the index values in the article “Classification and Economic Scaling of 19th-century Ceramics” (Miller 1980). In addition to expanding the range of years covered, it adds values for dishes and for Irish size teas, as well as correcting a misconception about the stability of the price of CC ware during the first half of the 19th century. A better understanding of the discount rates has made it necessary to recalculate the index values for the post-1844 period. This paper also presents extensive chronological and descriptive information on the common types of ceramics that were imported from the 1780s to the 1880s.
