Item 8729
 
Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this wonderful 2 Gallon Jar made and stamped by the "Beaumont Pottery, York, Maine."  
 
It is the work of Jerry Beaumont who inscribed his cross, the date of 1987, and his initials 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 piece is also signed "D. Friebely" who is currently known as Diana Card, the folk artist.  She created the Folk Art decoration on this jug
 
This beauty features the Pottery Stamp with Cobalt Wash and a Detailed Portrait of Santa Holding a Teddy Bear above an Open Bag of Toys with Presents and a Doll Peeking Out.  The outline of the decoration was created with a slip cup and the remainder filled in with a brush.  Stands 11 3/4" tall.
 
Comes from a small collection here in Ohio purchased this week. 
 
Exceptional Condition.  As made.  No damage of  any kind.
