Rare Three-Quart Stoneware Pitcher with Elaborate Cobalt Floral Decoration, Stamped "H. MYERS," Baltimore Stoneware Manufactory, Baltimore, MD origin, circa 1825, ovoid-bodied pitcher with tooled collar, decorated around the body with a boldly-brushed design of connected horizontal flowers, each with open, circular blossoms. Wavy cobalt band decoration around collar and cobalt highlights to handle terminals. Impressed below the spout with the Baltimore merchant mark, "H. MYERS", in a rare, smaller-than-usual stamp.
