Dish 1833

This American-made "Dish" from 1833, produced by the American Pottery Manufacturing Company, showcases a simple, elegant design. The white ceramic plate features a delicate blue border, adorned with a repeating pattern of stylized leaves. Its modest size, measuring 2 1/2 x 11 inches, suggests its use as a serving dish, highlighting the everyday practicality of early American ceramics. Currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, this "Dish" offers a glimpse into the functional artistry of the early 19th century.
