Item 9548
 
Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this wonderful 2 gallon Preserve Jar made and stamped on the shoulder by the "Beaumont Pottery, York, Maine" and incribed on the bottom with a Cross, the initials "J B", and the date 1981.
 
This is the work of Jerry Beaumont whom I believe has been and continues to be one of the best contemporary potters in America today.  His work from York, Maine in the 1980's was some of his finest.  
 
This beauty features the pottery stamp, bottom inscribing, and a Folk Art Bearded Man with Lincoln Hat known as "Mr. Perkins" Riding a Bull in a Field.  Additional leaves at the handle terminals. The cobalt is rich and applied with a slip cup.  Stands 9 1/2" tall.
 
The bull is even relieving himself-- apparently he is not impressed with Mr. Perkin's bull riding ability!  
 
Exceptional Condition.  As made.  No damage of any kind.  A 1/2" drying line on the right handle in the making and glazed over.
