1992 Redware PA Tulipware Dish Tulips & Heart Decorated Pot Oley Valley G. Yoder

Description: A beautiful and very unusual small (~6" diameter) flat dish having raised scalloped edge by Gerald Yoder of Oley Valley. The dish which has a very unusual raised wavy rim has a wide brown edge transitioning to a light brown band, which progresses to a yellowish-brown center having a beautiful design within it. The design depicts a three colorful tulip flowers emanating from a two-handled pot with a heart decoration. The flowers and the heart decorated pot are very much basic Pennsylvania Dutch symbols and are very common in their art. The piece is beautifully colored in blue, brown, yellow, and green. This small plate is glazed on top but is unglazed on the back. It is typical of Pennsylvania German tulipware and is so titled by the artist. The back is signed and dated by the artist. This is a rare dish from the Oley Valley pottery made by one of the best potters with the Pennsylvania Dutch heritage. Please carefully review photos as they are part and parcel of our descrip
