With sundry other sorts of small ware too tedious to mention

Lindsay Bloch and Anna S. Agbe- Davies

To be sold by the subscriber at his dwelling- plantation, and at his pot- house, in St. Marys County, and at the head of the St. Marys River, by wholesale or retail: Earthenware, of the same kind as imported from Liverpool, or made in Philadelphia, such as milk- pans, butter- pots, jugs, pitchers, quart-mugs, pint- mugs, porringers, churning- pots, painted dishes, plates, etc. with sundry other sorts of small ware too tedious to mention. He will take in pay pork, tar, wheat, corn, or tobacco, at reasonable rate, for any of the above commodities.

(Thomas Baker, the Maryland Gazette , 1756)

Introduction

Consumer culture often appears to be a side- effect of the conspicuous consumption identified by Thorstein Veblen (1899), in which the leisure class grasps at ever more expensive and esoteric goods in order to climb the social ladder to become more like their betters and to leave those beneath them behind. Studies of consumerism within historical archaeology or modern material culture studies (Majewski and Schiffer 2009:191192) frequently emphasize these special goods often expensive, rare, or both and a relatively narrow slice of society (Martin 1993; Mullins 2011:139141). Taking consumption to signify people rely[ing] increasingly upon goods that they do not produce themselves (Miller 1995:154), there is no doubt that people also consume mundane goods. Furthermore, status- conscious elites and their imitators are not the only people to consume material goods.

What are we to do with these other things, these other people? We argue for a broader- based investigation of consumerism, understood as an ideology and a system that promotes consumption. Here, we examine the ceramics consumed by plantation residents, most of them enslaved, to understand their role in the consumer revolution. We label these processes petty consumerism , a phenomenon that exists side- by- side with the generic consumerism, that is taken to be synonymous with the conspicuous rather than the quotidian. Given its broad base, petty consumerism was likely more important, financially and socially, to the ascendancy of this mode of modern life.
