This auction is for an early redware bowl...not perfect, but if you were 150 years old, you might not be perfect anymore either. Measuring 9" across, it's got partial half-moon shape crack that doesn't quite make it to the other side of the bowl. Five worn spots in the center almost look like an intentional design, but they're definitely wear marks. The notched edge shows one or two old chips. Most important is the blackened bottom---please see my photos that will show two large areas of missing clay that were obviously done in the making. They cause the bowl to sit crookedly--again, visible in the photos---but apparently that didn't prevent the original owner from using it. There are lots of tiny craze lines in the glaze. Of course it thunks when tapped---again, due to the crack---but it appears sturdy and even survived a few good bumps after I forgot it was in the trunk of my car ;-o Probably dates to about 1860, and even with the crack, it's a great decorative piece.eBay sends high bidders an automatic invoice at the end of every auction. This is not my (the seller's) invoice. It DOES NOT include insurance, delivery confirmation or the shipping discount that applies when labels are printed on-line, so DON'T pay it! Please wait for my invoice, which is for actual shipping costs and includes all of the above.Please take a minute
