Well, the evidence is pretty convincing that nearly half my New Lexington, Ohio collection is actually from New Jersey. It doesn't devalue the pieces. Heck, it might even make them more desirable for someone wanting to start a new series. But since I concentrate on Ohio made classic porcelain, these are now surplus to me.

Here I have what were two of my prized favorites due to their super character glazes. They fall in that U-708 - U-709 range which never really mattered to me what they were officially since no two were alike. Both are crude with wonderful glazes. The lighter has all those great highlights and missing glaze. It has a couple of chipping spots on the underside but don't jump out because of all the missing glaze. The darker one has an almost irridescent sheen to it. Very shiney with a rainbow of runs and drips. This one has no damage to speak of. Both have the flat inner skirts that are consistant with the "Trenton" types despite being of stark contrast in appearance otherwise. $89 shipped for the pair in the continental U.S. only by priority flat rate. I don't do PayPal so an old fashion check or money order please.
