I currently offer fifteen patterns to chose from in your choice of colors. These are the same numerical codes as with the thrown wares, with the exception of the “jeweled” patterns which are specific to size and color.
These plates are made by draping a slab of clay over a mold. When the clay is firm, it is decorated with slip, which is a fluid clay mixture including various metals and clays for colorants. The patterns that I offer are:
Feather Pattern 3 This was a common American pattern, originating in Norwalk Connecticut in the early 19th century and copied in many states, 1820-1860.
Squiggles and Dots 27 is found on many early European and American wares.
Marbled Pattern 29 is found on both American and European wares and plates. A New York state potter made the red and gold marbled plates in the Early 19th century.
Wave Pattern 13, Wave Pattern 30 and Wave Pattern 31 Common patterns and variations on plates from Maryland to Maine to Ohio from 1780 to 1880, and earlier in England.
Freehand Pattern 22 is inspired by the many oddly designed patterns found on 19th Massachusetts plates and is an original design.

Tulip Pattern 11 This is influenced by the Pennsylvania-German pattern found on many thrown wares and plates, late 18th to 19th century, earlier in Europe.
Turkey Pattern 12 This is my original design. Rooster Pattern 18 is based on an English pattern dating to the late 18th century, England.
Owl Pattern 19 is based on an English pattern dating to the late 18th century, England.
Rabbit Pattern 20 also known as the “Running Hare” is based on an English pattern dating to the late 18th century.
Crane Pattern 21 is based on an English pattern dating to the late 18th century.
Cat Pattern 23 is an original design that was inspired by the Rabbit pattern.
All the plates and platters are offered for sale in a smooth, plain edge and a notched, coggled edge.
Both styles are traditionally accurate. The smooth edge is preferred by some, as they feel that it is easier to clean, but I use a fine coggled edge that for some, looks older. Unless you tell me what edge type you want, I will ship out the smooth edge.
