Extremely Rare Four-Gallon Stoneware Jar with Cobalt Deer Decoration, Stamped "W.A. LEWIS / GALESVILLE, NY," circa 1858, ovoid jar with semi-squared rim and applied lug handles, decorated with a slip-trailed design of a deer with large rack and turned head, reclining beside a tree stump. Cobalt highlights to maker's mark and capacity mark. This design, based upon the deer motifs of Bennington, VT, is highly unusual for this short-lived New York State pottery. A large reglued section extending from front midsection onto underside, including two thin lines on underside that extend off from the reglued section. An 8" crack from rim on reverse.
