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.)

Very Rare and Fine Diminutive Glazed Redware Dish with Two-Color-Slip Spot Decoration, attributed to Solomon Loy, Alamance County, NC, circa 1825-1840, thin-walled, wheel-thrown dish with narrow base and tooled rim, decorated around the rim, along the edge of the cavetto, and around the interior base with delicately-applied, alternating slip-trailed spots of manganese and cream-colored slip, the interior surface coated in a clear lead glaze. Featuring exceptional size and condition, this work is also distinguished by the exacting, methodical application of its wonderful slip decoration. Exemplary condition with light rim wear, two small edge chips, losses to a few slip spots on interior base, and other minor wear to slip. This lot's condition is noteworthy, as bowls and dishes from this region are commonly found with significant wear. Diam. 5 7/8" ; H 1 1/8".
