Early Dedham pottery, crackle-ware plate with a great blue craquelle glaze. Signed on the back with a single raised rabbit mark which had limited use on plates starting in 1895 making this one of the earlier Rabbit plates. This style was only used early on, for a few years, as it was found that many pieces cracked in the molds. In good condition, no damage at all. Size is 8 5/8” in diameter. By the way, these rabbits have two ears. Nice older piece of Dedham.
