1986 Handcrafted Redware Goose Dish with Festive Wreath & Cobalt Glaze

Collector’s Note

Redware is one of America’s earliest ceramic traditions, dating to the 18th century. In the late 20th century, studio potters revived this historic form, blending traditional earthen clay bodies with expressive, folk-inspired decoration. Signed works like this example from Earthen Vessel reflect that revival—where craftsmanship, regional identity, and decorative charm come together in highly collectible studio pottery.

The shallow 6 ½” plate features a stylized goose—reminiscent of a Canadian goose—adorned with a dotted green and red holiday wreath. The bird is set against a rich cobalt-blue glazed ground, accented by small golden-yellow rim dots that add rhythm and visual balance to the composition.

The reverse reveals the natural red earthenware clay body and is signed by the artist, Kim von Hedemann and dated 1986.
