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.)

Important and Extremely Rare Cobalt-Decorated Stoneware Jar, Stamped Eight Times "C. CROLIUS / STONE WARE / MANUFACTURER / Manhattan-Wells / NEW YORK," early 19th century, cylindrical jar with tooled and rounded shoulder and semi-rounded rim, brush-decorated around the shoulder with a series of diagonal dashes and wavy stripes. Underside impressed eight times with Clarkson Crolius, Sr. oval maker's mark. This highly unusual stamping suggests this jar was used as a test piece to determine the effectiveness of the stamp shortly after the latter was made. A significant, recently surfaced example of Crolius stoneware, which offers rare insight into the production process of this family's stoneware. Very nice condition. Horizontal in-the-firing lines to exterior base, not visible on interior. Other small, typical in-the-firing surface flaws. Small base chips. A faint black crayon number, "9," written at shoulder. H 14 1/8".
