Hollow Ware ~ CookingHollow Ware refers to three-dimensional pottery, generally for domestic use. In other words, it’s everything but the plates! Plain hollow ware was most common, but slip trailed examples (pottery decorated with clay slip) were sometimes used at table and hearth. In descriptions below, “d” indicates “depth,” and “h” indicates “height.” For special order decorations (wren, chicken, leaf, wheat sprig, lace, etc.) on any item in the catalogue, consult Stephen Earp Redware.

Bake Dishes (pie plate)Pie plates belong to an age-old class of pottery known as “pans,” which are distinguished from their primordial siblings, “pots,” by being wider across than they are tall. Many were decorated with slip trailed patterns, names of various kinds of pies, or the name of the cook. Note: Add $5.00 for slip trailed decoration; see order form for this option. 140M medium (8"d) $25.00 Note: Slip trailed decoration is available on bake dishes (though not typically in stock); add $5.00 and indicate decoration type on order form: wren, lace, or wheat. See photos of flasks to view designs. |
