Shoulder accented with two combed bands of incising, and decorated on the front and back with a slip-trailed cobalt daisy flanked by sweeping vines. An exceptionally well-potted and elegantly-styled example of early Baltimore stoneware.

Small rim chips. 1 1/2" hairline from rim above one handle. 2 1/2" x 2" faint X-shaped line under one handle, which likely occurred in the firing and does not extend through to interior. H 13 3/8".
