Handmade Folk Art Pottery made in Pennsylvania and inspired by Pennsylvania German pottery from the late 1600s through the 1800s.  The design is created using the sgraffito technique where the top layer of white slip is removed to create the design.

The clay was rolled flat with a rolling pin, and cut with a circle cutter. Then the clay was laid over a bisque mold (drape molded) until leather-hard (stiff but not dry). White liquid clay (slip) was painted over the surface of the red earthenware clay to create 2 layers. The design was created using the sgraffito method of scratching through the white slip to reveal the red clay beneath. It was fired in an electric kiln. The back is unglazed following the traditions of the early Pennsylvania German potters.
