Early Dedham Pottery Crab Plate - "HR" for Hugh Robertson 8 1/2"
   

This charming Dedham Pottery plate was made when Hugh Robertson was head of the pottery between 1896 and 1908. There are also other initials "?P" which I don't recognize. The plate is 8 1/2" in diameter. There is a small, flat back chip and a line from the border that goes just beyond the foot rim. The plate is solid and completely stable.
