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.

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. Some very faint surface wear to interior center, visible when the object is held in the light. Diameter 15 5/8".
