Item 12137
 
Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this wonderful 1 Gallon Stoneware Cream Pot attributed to R. J. Grier of Chester County, Pennsylvania.
 
Ralph Grier and family ran a pottery in Mount Jordan, Chester County, Pennsylvania from the 1840's to 1910 (Phil Shaltenbrand, Big Ware Turners, pp. 12-13).
 
Dating to the 1870's, this beauty features a Squared Rim, Inscribed Line at the Shoulder, and Three Cobalt Florals in the Distinctive Grier Style.  A cluster of leaves gives way to a stem with two leaves and a blossom with multiple petals.  Measures 8" tall and 8" wide across the top.
 
I have seen quite a few Grier jars and milk bowls, but rarely a cream pot.
 
Exceptional Condition.  As made.  No damage of any kind.  Slightly out of round in the making.
