Description:

This three gallon, tall-collared stoneware jar is stamped below the rim E. & L.P. NORTON BENNINGTON, VT The front is slip-cup-decorated in cobalt with a large, crested bird atop a detailed leaf. The contrast between the decoration and underlying clay is superior, with the vibrant, glossy cobalt set against a very light, cream-colored background. The bird's beak, crest, tail, and wing outline are filled in cobalt, which makes the decoration very dramatic in appearance. Excellent form on this vessel, with a straight collar, ovoid body, and incising at the shoulder. Thin lug handles applied to the sides, and albany slip glaze on interior. A very attractive piece of Bennington stoneware.

Size:

12 ½" tall.

A few, very small glaze flakes. A few tiny nicks on handles.

$1950
