#6 Pennsylvania Crimped Rim Paperwhite Pot with Attached Saucer, 1/2 Celedon Glaze

This style of a decorative crimped rim is inspired pottery of Chester County, PA, circa 1860.  Small flower pots with attached saucers were part of a country potter's seasonal offerings, augmenting their "bread & butter" of utilitarian crocks and jugs.  Flower pots of this period were normally made in either salt-glazed stoneware with cobalt blue decoration, or were lead glazed, red earthenware with manganese decoration. My version of this traditional shape is glazed in a lead-free stoneware glaze.  Stoneware is vitreous and waterproof, however, be careful where you water the pot; if it is overwatered, water will overflow the saucer and could damage fine furniture.   Handthrown by Peter in Rockdale, Wisconsin Fired to 2350° Fahrenheit, (1288° Celsius) Lead-free stoneware glaze Drainage hole allows for direct planting Waterproof glazed saucer Take care when watering to not overflow the attached saucer if the pot is located on a surface that could be marred by water.
