Extremely Rare Miniature Stoneware Flowerpot with Cobalt Decoration, attributed to Charles F. Decker's Keystone Pottery, Chucky Valley, Tennessee, late 19th century, cylindrical form with footed base and crimped rim, decorated with brushed cobalt daubs on the top and underside of the crimping, cobalt spots around the shoulder, and a cobalt stripe at base. Although this pot lacks a drain hole in the underside, the crimping on the rim suggests it was most likely made as a flowerpot. Exceptional size and form. Provenance: Raymond L. Owen Collection. Tiny rim chip with very faint crack extending downward 1 3/4". Salt drip to interior. H 2 3/8".
