Unlike almost every major auction house in the country, we handle our own shipping in-house. We understand how frustrating it can be to have to work with third-party shippers to have your objects delivered to you. Meanwhile, we also understand how important it is for you to receive your objects safely. We have over 40 years of experience safely packing antique ceramics. By default your invoice will include a shipping total via UPS Ground; you can also, of course, pick up objects at our gallery. Please feel free to contact us if you would like a quote. (A very few lots will have notes at the end of their descriptions letting you know that the object is too big or fragile for us to handle shipping ourselves.)

Outstanding Miniature Redware Dish with Profuse Two-Color-Slip Tree-of-Life Motif, probably Alamance County, NC origin, circa 1820-1840, wheel-thrown dish with slightly-canted body and broad flaring rim with squared edge, extravagantly-decorated throughout with a tree-of-life design in alternating cream and brown slip under a clear lead glaze. The color and distinctive potting of this dish relate it to pieces produced in Alamance County, North Carolina, including works by Solomon Loy. A strikingly-decorated example. The extensive coverage of the slip design over the surface places this dish among the most heavily-decorated examples of American redware, as well as one of the finest redware miniatures, that we have offered. Provenance: Acquired decades ago from Don Walters. Very nice condition. Two small rim chips. Small flakes to interior. Diam. 3 7/8".
