ELDRETH POTTERY Salt Glazed Santa PIE PLATE CHRISTMAS 1990

Description: Up for sale is a Eldreth Pottery pie plate. It has a top diameter of approx. 11" measuring from outside edge to outside edge. Measuring from the table up to the top edge of the pie plate is approx. 1 1/4". The pie plate has a tan/brown background with blue designs. Salt glaze, more than any other process, endows the pottery with the mark of the firing and highlights the method by which the plate is made and decorated. When the kilm approaches white heat, salt is thrown into the flames. The salt changes into a vapor and the vapor-laden flames react with the clay's surface to form a durable and permanent glaze. This whole firing process from the beginning to end, takes one full week. Brown flashes, iron spots, patches of thicker glaze from a heavy flame, and color variations from grays to browns, combine to make each piece a unique and treasured collectible family heirloom. David Eldreth retired 12/31/17 and it was the final day of operation of Eldreth Pottery. It has no chips, cracks, or crazing. It may have a stray scratch or two, but none that I noticed. This piece was hand washed to be sure there was no hidden damage. Please check out the photos as they are part of the description. Please note that color variations may occur in the photographs due to lighting conditions and/or variations in screen resolutions. This is an item that I can NOT offer combined shipping on with another listing. It must be shipped by itself.
