Robert,

Don Carpentier reproduces shell edge and dipt wares at Eastfield Village.
They are excellent reproductions and have been used by Colonial
Williamsburg and other restorations.   Feather edge is not a good term for
theses wares as the potters called it shell edge.  For more information on
shell edge see the following articles:
