Raised Anchor wares (1749 - 1753) are quite scarce and sought after. Most examples are not marked at all, while some have a small bit of clay with an anchor applied to the base. Over the years, or even soon after firing, that bit of clay gets detached, leaving an oblong residue on the base, and is much more desirable than no mark at all. This bowl has such a mark, along with the expected Chelsea stilt marks.
The condition of this fine piece is excellent with no flaws or issues of note. The diameter is 3 1/8" and the height is 2".
