Here is a Ned Foltz large redware blate- the common term for a cross between a platter and a bowl. This one is special for two reasons: Ned Foltz himself and not another authorized crew person hand turned this vessel and hand decorated it using the sgraffito method.

Google AI states: " Sgraffito in redware pottery making is a decorative technique where a layer of colored slip or underglaze is applied to red earthenware clay, and then scratched through to reveal the contrasting color of the clay body beneath."

From the cradle of origin. Denver, PA ( my location ) is only 2 miles away from Reinholds, PA where Ned Foltz and a few in his circle create his redware collectible masterpieces from. I bought all the Ned Foltz Redware items that I am listing or going to list from a local resident who states they had them since the early 2000's when bought locally, so technically these are 'one owner' if you are counting me only as an intermediary step or temporary owner as I do.

Crafted in the old Pennsylvania German tradition of redware making, this blate is about 12" in diameter and about 2.5" tall. It weighs about 3.5 pounds without packaging.

In very good to excellent condition both structurally and the fired on glaze. See less
