Extremely Rare Alkaline-Glazed Stoneware Flask, TX origin, probably Jefferson S. Nash Pottery, Marion County, TX, circa 1850-1860, wide-bodied, wheel-thrown flask with footed base, two flattened sides, and doubly-tooled shoulder and spout, the surface covered in a mottled blackish-brown glaze with distinctive maroon highlights. Though a small number of ring flasks from Nash's pottery are known, this flask is the only example of this specific form produced in Texas that we are aware of. Excellent condition with a few minor spout nicks. H 5 1/2".
