Historical customs and import document
These early U.S. consular invoices were required for imported merchandise entering American ports and are increasingly collected for their connection to early American commerce and the Staffordshire ceramics trade.
Condition is consistent with use aboard ship and in customs offices, with folds, tears, edge losses, staining, and paper loss as shown. The embossed seal and principal text remain intact.
An excellent early nineteenth-century document relating to the transatlantic pottery trade between England and the United States.
