DescriptionPotters in many regions of colonial America and the early United States made red-bodied earthenware from local clay. Pennsylvania-German potters sometimes applied a layer of slip or thin, liquid clay over the red clay, and then cut through the slip layer to expose the red clay beneath. This plate employs this technique, called sgraffito, to create the design of tulips and pinwheels. Metallic oxide created the blotches of green.
Provenance[Whimsey Antiques, Arlington, Vermont]; purchased by Miss Ima Hogg, 1962; given to MFAH, by 1966.
