There was some restoration, but nonetheless, these two-color marbled slip decorated red earthenware platters from the late eighteenth or nineteenth century sold today at Meander Auctions in Ohio. These objects may have been made in Norwalk, Connecticut, although this type of marbled slip decoration has also been recovered from archaeological contexts on Long Island and elsewhere in New York, where there was also significant red earthenware production.
The first plate shown below sold for $700 plus the buyer's premium: https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/191500298_slip-decorated-redware-loaf-dish
The second plate shown below sold for $750 plus the buyer's premium: https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/191500299_slip-decorated-redware-loaf-dish
Note: For more information about some of this type of production - see a story I posted to this website a few weeks ago, titled, A Very Interesting Slip Decorated Red Earthenware Dish that was Previously Owned by John Gordon of New York City: http://www.earlyamericanceramics.com/2024/11/english-slipware.html.
