Cedar Creek polychromes are a very scarce pottery type which closely associated to the better known and very popular Four Mile type. The type is denoted by the bright orange slip with a black design on the interior of the bowl – the exterior always has a combination of a black and white design. This bowl measures 9.3 inches wide and 3.3 inches deep…it has an intense black paint which is 100% glazed and is strongly reflective. The glazing is the result of traces of lead in the black paint in combination with a firing which occurred at a very high temperature. There is a very small crack extending down about 1 inch from the rim; it has been glued and is virtually unnoticeable. Pottery in such superb condition as this bowl is extremely rare. |
