Exceptional Small-Sized Shenandoah Valley Redware Cream Pitcher, attributed to S. Bell & Sons, Strasburg, VA, circa 1890, squat-shaped, ovoid pitcher with footed base and flared collar, decorated with heavy streaks of copper and manganese over a yellow ground and covered in a clear lead glaze. The use of yellow base clay, as opposed to a cream-colored slip coating, is indicative of pieces produced at the S. Bell & Sons shop. Exceptional form, size, and color. Very nice condition with light wear to rim, a 5/8" base chip, a small base chip, and some other minor base wear. H 3 3/4".
