Beautifully Decorated 2 Gallon Ovoid Jar, c1845

Description:

It is difficult to find stoneware with decoration as extensive as on this early jar. It is cobalt decorated front and back, top to bottom, with an elaborate floral decoration. It was made c1840-50. There is a deeply incised line at the shoulder, which gives this jar a stately look. It has an impressed 2 gallon capacity mark under one handle. It is difficult to say where this jar was made, since the decoration is so unique. It was definitely made in the Mid-Atlantic region and has attributes of Pennsylvania, Virginia and Maryland.
