Reverse with very rare Joseph McCully maker's mark within an oval border. Little is known of the redware products made at a Trenton, New Jersey, operation started by Joseph McCully (b. 1771- d. 1857), and relatively few signed pieces are known. A similar plate resides in the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. C-shaped crack on interior, extending through to reverse. Reverse with additional network of surface lines, not visible on interior. Two small rim chips. Diameter 8 1/8".
