Small Redware Baking Dishes

These reproduction redware baking dishes were produced from an original mold in the collection of Old Winston Salem House and Garden Museum.  On a special tour of collections I had the pleasure to see the original mold and fortunate to find reproductions in the museum shop.

Plate Cover  Copper

I have had several inquiries as to what the copper piece is that I am holding in my blog post Wyck’s Food Festival   (posted 6/24/2011) that I used to cover the food.  That piece is a reproduction of a 1500-1650 original plate cover made by Peter Goebel of Goosebay Workshops.  The piece worked perfectly for the samples.

Royal Selangor Pewter

Many years ago now, I found (just browsing in a mall) a reproduction of a tulip pewter plate that had a Victoria and Albert symbol on it.  I almost did not purchase the plate but I am very happy that I did as I have used it so often.  The plate is still available from Royal Selangor Pewter.  Each plate is marked with the Royal Selangor tradmark, the V & A logo, and the year of manufacture in Roman numerals.  The date on my plate is MCMXCVI.

Old Sturbridge Village Museum Store

I always check the tinware section of the Old Sturbridge Village  (OSV) Museum Store when I visit OSV.  Another one of my “great finds” was the tinware baker that is pictured in my blog post Men of Sorghum in Honor of Lincoln.

One of my stops to and from my home state of Maine, has been Plimoth Plantation.  I am always delighted with my reproduction finds there.  The redware grisset that I am using in my blog post For a Hare comes from Plimoth and I have used it for many years now.  A great find!

John Hudson-Clayptter

When I visited John Hudson, in Mirfield, West Yorks, England, I was so amazed at the simple kiln that John used to fire his masterpieces.  The chaffing dish that I used in my blog post Too Stew Larks was created by the master potter, John. It is a beauty just as are all the other pieces of his pottery that I use in my demonstrations.
