Item 8573
 
Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this masterwork 1 gallon jug made and stamped by the "Beaumont Pottery, York, Maine."  
 
It is the work of Jerry Beaumont who signed the bottom "JB" 1987 with a Cross.  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 by D. Friebely currently known as Diana Card, the folk artist.  She created the incised decoration on this jug.  
 
This beauty features the stamp with cobalt wash, bottom signatures, and a fantastic Weeping Willow Decoration with Cobalt Wash.   The decoration definitely classifies as folk art.  Stands 11 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 (including the sign from the York, Maine pottery). 
 
Exceptional Condition.  As made.  No damage of  any kind.
