Description
An exceptional late 18th-century earthenware slipware baking or loaf dish, finely decorated with an intricate combed design and a pie crust rim. Made in England in the late 1700s, this charming and unusually well-preserved dish is in remarkable condition for its age. Its excellent state of preservation has been aided by the old wire hangers, which allowed the dish to be displayed on a wall rather than subjected to the wear associated with regular use.A particularly attractive example of English slipware, combining functional domestic design with decorative appeal.
