"Slipware ceramics may seem rustic, but their creation requires great skill. Slipware is earthenware pottery decorated with slip, which is a mixture of clay suspended in water, with lead based glaze applied on top. Functional & decorative, the slip creates a stronger bond with the glaze than earthenware."antique-marks.com I have many, many more bowls like this; bigger & smaller that I will be listing soon! I had the great good fortune to find these at an estate sale here in the southwestern corner of New Hampshire. The elderly couple had been avid collectors of cafe au lait bowls, T G Green Cornishware, Villeroy & Boch & Czechoslovakian pottery. I am very excited to be able to share them all with you! I try very hard to accurately describe & photograph any flaws but I am only human & on occasion may miss something. Please forgive me if that is the case! Condition of vintage items is somewhat subjective, what doesn't bother me might bother someone else. if you have any questions about a particular item in our shop feel free to reach out before purchasing or after you've bought something. Please review all the pictures as they are part of the description. Feel free to ask for more if you would like. A WORD ABOUT SHIPPING I spend a great deal of time making sure that all items are properly packaged before I ship them. I ship using the United States Post Office most of the time. The post office recently updated their policy for damage claims. The shop owner can no longer open a claim using just photos. If a piece is received damaged or broken it is a SHIPPING claim. It is the responsibility of the buyer to initiate a claim with the shipping carrier (i,e,. USPS). I will do whatever I can to assist the buyer in starting a claim. I am not able to give refunds for broken items. Contact your local post office directly (they will probably ask you to bring the broken, damaged item to your nearest post office for confirmation on a claim). This will yield quicker results for you. Your tracking number (provided by Etsy once I've created a label) is visible online under your purchase info. There are shipping delays worldwide & while I have had very few issues overall, I cannot do anything to retrieve, find or track a package other than what you can do yourself. Once it is in the hands of the USPS all I can do is direct you on how to file an inquiry. Blue Banded Pottery Bowls
