Origin Notes
Origin possibly Connecticut. This dish is probably attributed to Connecticut based on similarities to slip-trailed, inscribed dishes from the Norwalk, CT area. However, none of these dishes seem to have extra (brown?) slip dots on top of the cream-colored slip inscription, like this dish. More research should be done to verify the attribution.
