Oval bowl

Historic Odessa Foundation, gift of H. Rodney Sharp
1870-1885
A colonial fireplace located in the housekeepers room in Corbit-Sharp House (c. 1774) features Delft tiles. The purple color is a bit more unusual in Delft tiles which are more commonly seen in blue. This Philadelphia-Georgian style is featured prominently throughout the Corbit-Sharp house.
