Outstanding Large-Sized Redware Charger with Slip Decoration, Philadelphia, PA origin, early to mid 19th century, with coggled edge, the interior heavily-decorated in yellow slip with three different motifs applied with a four-quilled slip cup. This charger is the finest and largest example of the form that we have offered to date. The glazed surface survives in exceptional condition and retains an uncommon brilliance to its yellow slip decoration.

A 3/4" chip to upper edge of rim. A minor 3/4" x 1/4" glaze flake to edge of charger. A 3/8" flake to a spot of slip near edge.
