Provenance: From the estate of the consignor's great aunt, who lived on Route 23 in rural Spring City, PA. The home had been built by the consignor's great-grandfather about 1880, and was occupied by the family until 1976. Several rim chips. Interior survives in excellent condition with only a 2 1/2" surface scratch. Diameter 13 1/4".
