Item 8789
 
Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this wonderful 7 1/2" Jar made and stamped by the "Beaumont Pottery, York, Maine."  
 
It is the work of Jerry Beaumont who inscribed his cross and the date 1986 on the bottom.  In my humble opinion, Mr. Beaumont has been and continues to be one of the best contemporary potters in America today.  His work from York, Maine was some of his finest.  
 
This jar is quite unique.  It was decorated and signed by his daughter, Natalie! Both an inscribed and cobalt script signature appear on the bottom.  
 
This beauty features the Pottery Stamp with Cobalt Wash, a Sailing Ship with 6 Sails and 14 gunmounts, and a Lighthouse on a Hill Shining its Light on the Ship.  Stands 7 1/2" tall.
 
Comes from an extensive Massachusetts collection whose owner had personal ties to both the potter and the artist.  She gave me the privilege of buying this and many other Beaumont items. 
 
Exceptional Condition.  As made.  No damage of any kind.
