With Internet access today, it is not as hard as one might think to find such answers.<br /><br />I was extremely grateful for this census taker's little blooper. It opened up a different lens on understanding my grand-aunt.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by today, and for your comment. Here's hoping you will be writing a post of your own in the near future, sharing on your blog about your discoveries of a certain ceramics shop in Spain!Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-35288250041061843262014-01-28T21:29:24.669-08:002014-01-28T21:29:24.669-08:00Oh, believe me, Iggy, I would have loved to!

That allowance, however, post-dated Chevis' tenure there. So who knows? Maybe we are looking at her work--or something she had seen done in the shop around her.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-34206226288699288202014-01-28T07:57:16.206-08:002014-01-28T07:57:16.206-08:00Those patterns are so sweet!

Thank goodness for detailed census takers so that you could find the name of the company. :) I recently learned that my husband's great grandmother was a ceramics painter in Spain - it hadn't occurred to me yet to try to find examples of what the company was producing at the time, but now I will have to get on that!
