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 Three-Gallon Glazed Redware Jar, Stamped "GOLDEN CITY / POTTERY / & / FIRE BRICK WORKS," Golden, CO, circa 1865-1882, ovoid jar with tooled shoulder, thick, rounded rim, and small, arched handles, composed of scroddled clay with overlying clear lead glaze. Impressed with Golden City Pottery and Fire Brick Works maker's mark at shoulder above a three-gallon capacity mark. This is the first piece bearing this mark, as well as one of only a few examples of Western-made redware, that we have ever offered. This jar survives in excellent, essentially as-made condition, a rarity for glazed redware pieces of this size. There is some omission of the maker's mark during the stamping process, as-made. H 11 3/4".
