The condition seems too perfect. But the more i look the more I believe it may be genuinely old. That base photo is VERY VERY convincing. The decoration appears to me to be little bits of broken china embedded in the surface. If this could be proven to be American 18th. cent....redware It would be very rare and important.(Think inkwell rare<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /> )The form could even be 17th. cent. but that would certainly be English. The discussion of the arrangement of the name is intriguing. That just might hold the answer.</p><p><br /></p><p>If it&#039;s genuine I see this being no later than 18th. cent..</p><p><br /></p><p>A photo to Crocker Might...just might be fruitful.
