The use of a dark manganese coating, vertically-stripe accents and geometric floral motifs are all consistent with North Carolina redware of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Very nice condition with two small chips to foot, some shallow rim chips, a glazed-over 2 3/8" area of shallow chipping to bottom edge of rim, and some light wear to interior.
