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.)

Extremely Rare Two-Gallon Stoneware Spring Water Advertising Jug, Inscribed "Lovers Leap Spring / Water Co.," attributed to the Fulper Pottery, Flemington, NJ, circa 1900, semi-ovoid form with applied handle, tapering shoulder, and highly unusual wide mouth with semi-squared rim, featuring the cobalt-script advertising, "Lovers Leap Spring / Water Co." against a Bristol slip ground. The Lover's Leap Spring Water Company was located in Lynn, Massachusetts, on the corner of Lovers Leap Avenue and Forest Street, with its water sourced from a brick-and-cement-lined basin. Among the most noteworthy examples of Fulper advertising stoneware that we have ever offered, this work is exceptionally rare in both form and subject matter. Rim chips. Two in-the-firing signs to surface. Two surface flakes and an approximately 3 1/4" curving line at base on reverse. Reverse with some surface residue from use. H 13 1/2".
