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.)

Five-Gallon Alkaline-Glazed Stoneware Jar with Impressed Horseshoe, Edgefield District, SC origin, circa 1840-1850, ovoid jar with pronounced throw lines, narrow, semi-rounded mouth, and flattened lug handles, the surface covered in a glossy light-brown alkaline glaze accented with green and gray runs. Five punctates, denoting five gallons, incised at shoulder. Impressed horseshoe at base. Provenance: Richard and Cindy Pearce Collection. A 2 1/2" shallow, in-the-firing flake to bottom edge. Two other, much smaller in-the-firing chips to bottom edge. Other minor base chips. A 7/8" chip to one handle. A minor, very tight surface line to top of proper left handle and a very tight vertical surface line descending from rim above, measuring 3" vertically on proper left side of jar, not visible on interior. A small in-the-firing ping to proper right side of jar. What looks like a line ascending the base appears to be only staining. H 15 1/4".
