Double Crimped Rim Wide Pancheon with Saucer

This style of a decorative crimped rim is inspired pottery of Chester County, PA, circa 1860.  Small flower pots 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 pot is unglazed white clay or Terra Rosa clay, It has a drainage hole, but comes with a saucer that has been treated with acrylic sealer to resist water.  However, be careful where you water the pot; if it is overwatered, water will fill the saucer and could damage fine furniture.   Hand Thrown in Rockdale, Wisconsin Fired to 2102° F,  (1150° C) Fired-on mineral wash finish Drainage hole allows for direct planting For indoor and outdoor use, but not frost proof; store inside during winter months Price Includes UPS or USPS shipping to the Continental USA Will develop patina of age de
