Decorated Redware Dish
Description
Large round redware revival dish or charger, shaped on a mold with coggled edge. Top is painted with a dirty yellow slip with sgraffito decoration and clear glaze. Around edges are large scallop-like swags bordering a central scene of a bird perched on a vining branch with tulip ends. Leaves and swags are daubed with manganese.
Unglazed bottom is signed with a monogram at top, over "Robesonia, Pa", over a keystone shape flanked by "1972", over "L & B Breininger". Lester Breininger and his wife Barbara ran a thriving pottery at their Robesonia home in Berks Co., producing reproductions of 18th c. redware.

Decorated Redware Charger
Description
Redware revival sgraffito-decorated charger. Deep molded dish has gently curving bowl rising to a broad, flat rim of 1.5". Bowl covered in yellow with sgraffito design of a large eagle with spread wings and heart-shaped body. Below eagle is "1970". Rim unpainted except for inner border having painted black dots. Entire top daubed with manganese and a clear glaze overall except for underside. Incised initials "JCS" on bottom near rim.
J.C. Seagraves began experimenting with pottery in 1948 and set up a shop on Rte. 222 at Breiningsville in 1951. His preference was for making bowls and plates. He produced colorful glazes through the use of copper oxide. He combined the clean-cut modern 1950s style of pottery with the more traditional type to create his own unique style. (Richard L.T. Orth)

Description
Thimble of Mexican sterling silver (925) in classic shape but unusual construction. Sides have a vertical seam and top is capped with a domed and dimpled top. This horizontal joint is then wrapped with a band of silver.
Heavy applied decoration: upper 3/5 of sides have three flowering plants growing out of S-scrolls below and C-scrolls arranged in the lower 2/5. The scrolled decoration is applied like quilled paper. This raised decoration stands out against a black painted body.
Struck along inside of rim is "MEXICO" and "IGU---" over "92-". Other marks unclear. (See Notes) A "2" is struck on outside of body creating a circular depression.
Provenance
Collected by Lillian Hollings Kiker, born to Scottish Americans who lived in New Jersey. Born (1912) and lived in New Jersey, last of Egg Harbor, she was active with quilting, sewing, knitting & crocheting. Collection inherited by donor when her mother passed away.
