NOTES
An incised design of camels and bands of colorful matte glazes encircle the rim of this small plate that was probably part of a child's breakfast set. The decorator, Sarah Gelner, worked for the Paul Revere Pottery in Boston, MA, which was established with support from a wealthy patron. The pottery employed more than two hundred young women who worked as decorators before it closed in 1942. (D. Conradsen 11/2004)
