Very good antique condition - no chips or cracks - there is crazing and some staining. Please check over all images for full description.
***Rabbitware appears to have been made in England in the last third of the 19th century, with continued production into the early part of the 20th century, although it is rarely found in England. Since much of the pottery is found in Pennsylvania, it is thought that at least some Rabbitware was made for the Pennsylvania Dutch market.
