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.)

One-Gallon Stoneware Jar with Cobalt Floral Decoration, attributed to John Poole Schermerhorn, Richmond, VA, circa 1825, ovoid jar with tooled shoulder, squared rim, and arched tab handles, brush-decorated on the front and reverse with a round, stylized flower blossom emanating from a leafy stem. Cobalt highlights to edges of handles. The tab-handled construction of the jar, quite different from Schermerhorn's typical rounded lugs, suggests the jar may have been produced relatively early in the potter's tenure in Virginia, circa 1825. Numerous small rim chips. Two small chips to underside of jar, at the edge of the underside. Light wear to handles. Flecks of old white paint to surface. H 10 1/2".
