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.)

Exceptional Small-Sized Stoneware Jar with Profuse Impressed Decoration, Stamped "WARNE & LETTs 1807," ovoid jar with footed base, heavily tooled shoulder, and semi-squared rim, decorated below the Warne & Letts maker's mark with a central impressed design of a scalloped drape, highlighted in cobalt slip, within a curving pattern of four additional impressed drapes. Impressed around the body of jar with numerous diagonal drape designs. Vertical elliptical coggling around rim. Typical vessels by this firm are decorated with only one or two drape motifs, while this example features at least thirteen impressions of this design. A particularly fine example of early New Jersey stoneware and likely the most extravagantly decorated example of Warne & Letts stoneware known. Provenance: The Estate of Robert A. Ellison, Jr. Excellent, essentially as-made condition. H 7 1/2".
