David Pool Antiques

A beautiful manganese and lead glazed slip-decorated redware plate with a coggled rim. It has the customary high spots or pops from the firing as well as crazing to the glaze. There is a shallow 5/16" chip on the back and three tiny spots of wear on the rim. There are three pinhead size or less dings on the front, but you really need to be in bright light to actualy see them. There is absolutely no erosion to the slip decoration. This piece is, overall, in excellent condition.

A beautiful redware bulbous widemouthed pitcher. It has been thrown on a wheel. It has a clear glaze inside and a lead manganese glaze on the outside. There are a few chips on the inside of the rim and two 1/4" chips on the outside of the rim. There are several chips on the edges of the handle, the largest of which is 1/2" x 1/4". There is wear around the center of the pitcher. There are some flea bite size dings and a few small scratches. There are the usual, "in the making" indentations and pops. All in all, this evidence of use is barely noticeable because of the beautiful color and form of the pitcher. Additional photos are attached by the link to the right.
