Item 7749
 
Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this Superb 2 Gallon Jar with Rich Tulip Garland.
 
The jar's form and decoration make a probably attribution to David Parr who made stoneware in Baltimore, Maryland from 1815 to 1855 (William Ketchum, Jr., American Stoneware, p. 98).
 
Circa 1850, this beauty features a Tall Cylindrical Form, Finely Tooled Rim with Groove for Tying Over a Cloth or Paper Cover, and a Garland of Four Huge Brushed Cobalt Tulips.  The decorator did not skimp on the cobalt-- it is rich, shiny, and generouslly applied.  The light gray glaze presents the decoration in fine style. Stands 13 1/2" tall.
 
Excellent Condition.   A 1/4" chip on the rim and base, and some minor nibbles on the thin bottom edge of tooled rim.  That's it!  No inner rim chips, hairlines, cracks, stains, or restoration.  A small glazed chip on the rim in the making.
