FROM THE WORKSHOPS OF GERALD E.  HENN

THIS IS A BLUE SPONGEWARE HEARTWARE POTTERY

PIE PLATE

THIS PIECE IS FROM THE ORIGINAL MOLD!!

IT DATES BACK TO THE EARLIER DAYS OF HENN WHEN FRIENDSHIP POTTERY HAND SPONGED ALL OF THE POTTERY IN THE HENN LINE

IT BEARS THE ORIGINAL FRIENDSHIP POTTERY LOGO ON THE BOTTOM AND WAS MADE IN ROSEVILLE, OHIO

MICROWAVE--DISHWASHER--OVEN SAFE

THE PIE PLATE MEAURES 9 1/2 INCHES IN DIAMETER AND IS A LITTLE OVER 1 1/2 INCHES DEEP

HENN BAKEWARE IS SOME OF THE BEST BAKEWARE EVER MADE

IT CLEANS LIKE A BREEZE AND GOES FROM OVEN TO TABLE WITH EASE

 THESE AWESOME PIE PLATES CAN BE USED FOR DOZENS OF OTHER USES--

DON'T WAIT UNTIL YOU'VE BAKED TO SHOWCASE THIS BEAUTIFUL HAND SPONGED PIECE!

THESE ARE PERFECT FOR CHEESE AND CRACKERS-- NACHOS AND CHIPS-- QUICHES-- HEARTY STEWS OR SOUPS--ANYTIME YOU ARE SERVING A CROWD YOU WILL FIND USES FOR THIS PIECE AS A SERVING DISH

THIS PIE PLATE IS IN MINT CONDITION--NO CHIPS, CRACKS, FLEA BITES OR CRAZING--VERY, VERY SLIGHT UTENSIL MARKS PRESENT WHEN HELD TO THE LIGHT--OTHER WISE CLEAN AS A WHISTLE!

A RICH COBALT BLUE SPONGE--CREAMWARE ON THE INSIDE AND A HAND SPONGED HEART IN THE CENTER

PLEASE BEAR IN MIND THAT SOME OF THE VERY EARLY POTTERY HAD GLAZE POPS PRESENT --THIS ONE HAS A FEW BUT NOTHING MAJOR.  THERE ARE A COUPLE TINY PINPOINT SPECKS OF BLUE WHERE THE CREAMWARE IS.  AGAIN THIS WAS FAIRLY TYPICAL OF THIS EARLY POTTERY.  I HAVE TRIED TO PHOTOGRAPH A CLOSE UP OF THE HEART IN THE CENTER

--- ALL HAND SPONGED POTTERY WILL VARY IN PATTERN AND COLOR AND MAY CONTAIN A FEW GLAZE POPS HERE OR THERE--THIS IS CONSIDERED A NATURAL CHARACTERISTIC OF HANDMADE POTTERY AND NOT A FLAW

THIS WILL MATCH YOU OTHER BLUE SPONGEWARE IN THE HENN LINE

NICE ADDITION TO YOUR SPONGEWARE COLLECTION!
