Rare and Fine Small-Sized Stoneware Jug with Alkaline Glaze, Impressed "U," attributed to Pottersville Stoneware Manufactory, Edgefield District, SC, circa 1820-1840, highly-ovoid jug with tooled spout, decorated with a light-colored, gray-green alkaline glaze with darker, glossy runs descending from the shoulder and handle. Impressed "U" at base on reverse. A hand-incised marking at the base in the form of a large inverted V with one forked end is possibly a second hallmark. The smallest Pottersville jug that we have ever offered, this work features striking glaze treatment synonymous with this site. Provenance: From a fifty-year SC collection. Excellent condition with some in-the-firing crazing to shoulder, a small glazed-over spout chip, and a small base chip, possibly in-the-firing. H 6 7/8".
