The fine stoneware and earthenware table articles found on British-Canadian military sites were, for the most part, associated with the officers’ mess. Although each regimental mess acquired its furnishings independently, the conformity of military taste and custom and the exigencies of supply to garrisons far from manufacturing or retail sources has resulted in a certain homogeneity in the tableware used by the military at any one time. It has been possible, using the large samples from Fort Beausejour, New Brunswick, as well as evidence from other military sites, to select tea and dinner services that were used for regimental messes during the period 1760-1830. Since the replacement of one service by another naturally did not occur at a specified time shared by all regiments, a series of four dates, 20 years apart (1760, 1780, 1800, and 1820) have been selected as milestones. Seventeen different patterns are described and illustrated.
