, circa 1750 French Bowl 11 and 3/4 inches diamete

This beautiful this beautiful 18th century Bowl most likely made in France is in very good condition with a very slight hairline fracture. The bowl is very strong. You find plates but bowls are very rare to find and display well I will include a stand with it if you desire. I found this this past weekend in St Genevieve Missouri. Saint Genevieve was settled in the early 18th century in the 1740s. There are numerous French homes still in existence and beautifully maintained and open for public viewing about the Bolduc house being the jewel of St Genevieve though there are many homes to visit all of these homes dating to the 1750s and 60s. This is a beautiful Bowl which most likely came to Saint Genevieve through New Orleans. St Genevieve was considered the bread basket for New Orleans. As normal this will be packed very carefully and shipped free of charge with tracking and insurance

CIRCA 1760 COLONIAL AMERICAN PIPE SAFE

This 10-pipe safe would date to circa 1760 or a bit later. It is an American Colonial pipe safe that I purchased at the Gettysburg Pennsylvania show this past summer. These types were used and this one made so that they could protect the earlier clay pipe which was easily broken and more difficult to replace when on the road are campaign. There is a very good example in the collector's illustrated encyclopedia of the American revolution by George c Neumann and Frank j Kravic. This is a must book much like many of the "THEY MADE DO "magazines and books that were produced also are must for the colonial collector. This is a rare to find American Colonial collectible that will look great in any collection.
