This style of a decorative crimped rim is inspired pottery of Chester County, PA, circa 1860. Small flower pots with attached saucers were part of a country potter's seasonal offerings, augmenting their "bread & butter" of utilitarian crocks and jugs. Flower pots of this period were normally made in either salt-glazed stoneware with cobalt blue decoration, or were lead glazed, red earthenware with manganese decoration.
My version of this traditional shape is glazed in a lead-free stoneware glaze. Stoneware is vitreous and waterproof, however, be careful where you water the pot; if it is overwatered, water will overflow the saucer and could damage fine furniture.
