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 Large-Sized Alkaline-Glazed Stoneware Jar with Incised Markings and Glass Runs, Edgefield District, SC origin, possibly David Drake, circa 1840, ovoid jar with tooled shoulder, rounded rim, and arched lug handles, the surface covered in a gray-green alkaline glaze with tannish spotting and mottling from the clay showing through. Unusual applied glass runs descending from the handles. Shoulder with rare incised notation of two vertical slash marks followed by a cross. Further incised with five or six punctates above. Jar measures roughly six gallons. Wahler called this pot "Blondie." Very nice condition. An approximately 4 1/4" Y-shaped line descending from on reverse, extending into one handle terminal. Surface with a few in-the-firing pings and a tiny surface-level fissure with a faint 2 1/4" line extending through it. Minor surface wear. H 17".
