| Description: |
This interesting group of six stoneware jars were probably made in Alexandria, VA, circa 1810 to 1820. They were recently bought together and were likely originally sold as a group when they were made. Each jar is approximately 1/2" smaller than the next, with the exception of smallest jar, which is significantly smaller than the rest. The forms and colors of these jars are characteristic of early Alexandria stoneware. Three jars out of the group are of particular interest as they feature the dipped iron-oxide or rust glaze most often associated with Alexandria potter, John Swann. On two of the jars, the rust dip created a brownish color and on one it created an attractive yellowish hue. (The three rust-glazed jars are the second, third, and fifth, from the left in the picture below.) For whatever reason, the other jars in this lot show no indication of having anything other than a salt glaze. The jars measure between 2 1/2 pints and 1 pint. |
