Beautiful, bright cobalt blue slip-trailed decorated storage jar, marked on the front, B.C. Milburn Alexa. 1 ½ Very striking flowers and leaves decorate the front of this jar from handle to handle. The back is decorated with a highly unusual floral type decoration and the entire rim is decorated all around with a stylistic wavy line. In fact, the entire jar is decorated by slip trailing, a technique that is much more uncommon than brushwork. A very well-thrown and exquisitely decorated stoneware jar, made by an expert potter.

Size:

11 ½" tall.

Condition:

There is a line extending from the rim, touching the edge of one ear and traveling down. The entire line is about 5 ½" long. There is a chip on the back at the base. The remainder is in excellent, original condition.
