A Large Late Spanish Colonial Slipped Redware Brimmed Bowl with Copper Green and Manganese Brown Accents from the late 1700s or early 1800s WELCOME A Lead Glazed and Green and Brown Decorated Red Earthenware Late Colonial Spanish Large Bowl with Unglazed Exterior Burnishing from the 1780 to 1830 Period in Very Good Condition (see details below). ITEM DETAILS: This is the second Spanish Colonial slipped redware bowl I've offered recently and it conveniently shows the subtle changes that occurred to this particular ware during the 1700s. The previous bowl I sold was about 80 to 150 years older than this example. The bowl listed reveals that the overall basic Hispanic brimmed bowl shape has continued but t are also some differences. For example, the rim is less lipped and less pronounced than the bowls of the late 1600s. The white slip motif is simpler and does not have the distinctive banded border segmentation seen on older 18th and 17th century Spanish brimmed bowls. Even the green is more of a blue green and the red clay is much denser and more compact. However, the clay still shows some shell fleck inclusions but the amount of shell is far less than older redware examples suggesting that shell was used less as a temper source and may simply have been an accidental contaminant in the pottery production area. The color of the clay in this bowl is a deeper red while the 17th century slipware bowls are more brown. T is a pronounced ridge just about 1 inch below the inflection that forms the slight bend of the gently everted brim. The ridge may be the product of using a template on the inside of the bowl to create the gently angled rim. The older bowl I sold had an incised line rather than this pronounced ridge. Unfortunately, I sold the older bowl before I acquired this newer example at recent antique show. In any event, the bowl listed is a fine example of a late Colonial Spanish brimmed slipware bowl dating from the 1780 to 1820 period. T are three trivet scars (kiln furniture marks) in the center of the bowl (see photo with pencils). It also has the same crude exterior smoothing found on older slipwares and which is probably the result of a mixed Spanish and indigenous pottery tradition. And even the small pedestal base was further pared and shaped by cutting with a knife while the bowl was being turning on a wheel. In fact, this exterior thinning extended further up the sides of the bowl since fine cutting lines are visible under intense light. The 1 3/8 inch wide marly or brimmed rim is a common rim form that extends back to 17th century maiolica and delftware bowls. For an example of an older large Spanish brimmed bowl with more intricate slipware motifs accented with green and brown colored can be seen in color in Miller's International Antiques Price Guide (2004:229, bottom center of page; this example from Miller's is like the one I sold several months back). The bowl offered is a very fine example of a Late Colonial Spanish tradition slipware bowl that will display well in any setting. So if you are looking for a nice Hispanic tradition lead glazed decorative earthenware antique brimmed bowl, then consider bidding on this bowl while it is still available. Thanks for looking and good luck on all your searches. SIZE: This large bowl measures 10 7/8 inches across and stands 3 5/8 inches tall. The bowl has a comparatively small pedestal base just 3 9/16 inches across with a central cut out area measuring about a 1 3/8 inches across and 1/4 inches deep with a distinctive and pronounced central nipple. The pedestal base also was trimmed at an angle to make the base concave rather than flat and allow the bowl to sit on its outer section like a broad foot ring. This concave trimming was performed before the central cut out area was carved. CONDITION: This lead glazed earthenware bowl is in very good condition for being more than 170 years old and apparently well used. T are no hairlines or cracks and the rim is complete wi...
