Distinguishing Characteristics - Most Interesting About The Piece:
This is a very nice and rare cup and saucer of great color and in superb condition by one of the best and most famous potters from Southeastern Pennsylvania. Very well done and would display very well in your collection of redware.
Condition:
Cup and saucer are in very good condition given their age. They have no cracks, no hairlines, and no repairs. Bothe pieces have overall crazing. The edge of the saucer has a small chip or glaze loss which we show in the 7th photo. In addition, the handle has spots of minor flaking to the glaze which we show in the last two photos. Finally as is the case with all these primitive old redware pieces, the piece also has a few of the usual defects you would expect such as pops, unglazed areas and uneven spots. Never the less this is a beautiful piece in great shape. Please view photos to appreciate the beauty of this rare piece and for additional condition information.
