The plate is round with a flat bottom and flared rounded sides terminating in a coggled rim. It has a dark orange-brown colored background glaze. It has two up and down fork like lines decoration in yellow slip. These are off center, while the center of the plate is undecorated. The back has a very nice dark blackened brown patina. Date: Late 1700s or early 1800s. Origin: Southeastern Pennsylvania Size: 8 1/2" in diameter and 1 5/8" deep. Maker: Unknown Marks: No markings Distinguishing Characteristics - Most Interesting About The Piece: This is an antique and very nice plate. The very nice dark patina on the back of the plate combined with the crazing of the glaze and the utensil marks on the front are an indication that this plate has been around for a long time. Condition: Plate is in very good condition its age and its utilitarian function. It has no cracks, hairlines, or repairs. It does have crazing to the glaze, loss to the slip decoration as well as minor losses to the glaze. It also has several old chips to the rim, the largest of which is 3/4" long. However, these chips are old and have darkened over the years and really add character to the plate. These chips can be clearly seen in the photos. Finally as is the case with all these primitive old redware pieces, the plate also has very few of the usual defects you would expect such as pops, unglazed areas and uneven spots. In Closing: This is a great plate which is beautiful, solid and in great shape after being around for over 200 years. The nice colored glaze, the slip decoration and the character this plate makes it a very nice piece to display. The crazing of the plate gives it such character and beauty that is difficult to see and appreciate in the photo, but should be seen in person to appreciate. This dish deserves a prominent spot in any redware collection. Our Guarantee Please view our 100% positive feedback and bid with confidence.
