Rare Small-Sized Stoneware Presentation Jar with Cobalt Floral Decoration, Inscribed "SR," Henry Harrison Remmey, Philadelphia, PA, circa 1830, ovoid jar with rounded rim, footed base, and applied lug handles, decorated with the large brushed-cobalt initials, "SR," within an oval border, underscored by a series of swags and hanging flowers. Reverse decorated with an additional swag and hanging flower motif, below a wavy freehand stripe. Cobalt highlights to handle terminals and a curving line of cobalt slip below each handle. Given that this jar was made by Henry H. Remmey, the initials, "SR," possibly refer to a member of the Remmey family for whom it was made. Professional restoration to left handle. Two small base chips. A minor U-shaped line to foot. H 7 3/4".
