Item #SERC01 |

| Description: |
See Comstock's book, page 266, for similar examples of this signed Eberly bean pot. This one is a nice reddish-orange color, unlike the usual dark brown that is seen on these pieces. The inside rim and inside base perimeter are decorated with a glazed bright yellow line. The rest of the interior is clear glazed, creating a bright orange effect. This bean pot has a spout, unlike Comstock's two examples. The Eberly's referred to this pot as their "Boston Bean Pot;" it is impressed on the shoulder:
STRASBURG, VA.

Size: |

8 ½" tall. |

Condition: |
|
The handle has been expertly restored; the repair is of the highest quality and matches the bean pot exactly. Small chips, mostly on top of rim. Tiny chips on the bottom, as expected with utilitarian pieces. Slight wear on underside of the lid. |
