A Magnificent Large Slipware Baking Bowl, Either Midlands or North of England, Mid-To-Late 18th C.

Description

Here we have a most wonderful and rare loaf dish with a superb patina decorated with highly skilled slipware decoration of lines and waves created with a rapid deft touch.

A heavy and substantial bowl, it has been obviously used for a multitude of farmhouse kitchen preparations, mixing, prooving and baking. As for provenance, could be Staffordshire, Yorkshire or possibly Buckley, North Wales, there is work to do here.
