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".
