A1982.14.105Description
Circular soup plate with alternating large and small lobes on the rim with a gadrooned edge and an inset foot ring.
The simple gadrooned edge, copied from solid silver plates and dishes, was one of the most common designs of white salt-glazed stoneware made from 1755-1770. Plates of the same pattern have been excavated at sites in Williamsburg, Virginia (Skerry and Hood, Salt-Glazed Stoneware in Early America (2009), p. 231).
This pattern has been identified by ceramics scholar Angelika Kuettner as E2 (Skerry and Hood, Salt-Glazed Stoneware in Early America (2009), p. 231).Collection
