Does anyone out there know anything about memory jugs or memory bowls (also
possibly called "gloom catchers")?  These appear to be covered with a
clay-like substance with trinkets--sewing notions, photos, jewelry,
etc--pressed into the substance and then gold paint applied between the
trinkets.  The few I've heard about date from between 1900-1920ish.  If you
can pass on any information, I'd appreciate it.  It's probably best to reply
directly to me at [log in to unmask]  Thanks!
