Unlike almost every major auction house in the country, we handle our own shipping in-house. We understand how frustrating it can be to have to work with third-party shippers to have your objects delivered to you. Meanwhile, we also understand how important it is for you to receive your objects safely. We have over 40 years of experience safely packing antique ceramics. By default your invoice will include a shipping total via UPS Ground; you can also, of course, pick up objects at our gallery. Please feel free to contact us if you would like a quote. (A very few lots will have notes at the end of their descriptions letting you know that the object is too big or fragile for us to handle shipping ourselves.)

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".
