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.)

Alkaline-Glazed Stoneware Jar, Pottersville Stoneware Manufactory, Edgefield District, SC, circa 1825, squat-shaped jar with thin, semi-rounded rim, the surface covered in a mottled olive-colored alkaline glaze over light-gray clay. Presumably the work of a potter-in-training, this jar is unusually heavy and thick-walled. Two groups of deeply-depressed finger marks on the interior reveal the potter's attempt at shaping the vessel. Jar is relatively small, measuring one gallon or less. Provenance: Richard and Cindy Pearce Collection. Some in-the-firing clay residue to surface. An inverted Y-shaped surface line descending from rim to shoulder, not visible on interior. A network of lines to one side, partially visible on interior, connecting to hairlines on underside. A few minor rim nicks. H 8 1/4".
