Item 3231
 
Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this wonderful 8" Ovoid Jar from Philadelphia.
 
The early form and floral decoration is reminiscent of stoneware by Henry Remmey of Philadelphia after his arrival from Baltimore.  Henry Remmey, Jr. ran the family pottery in Philadelphia from the 1820's to the 1850's (Phil Shaltenbrand, Big Ware Turners , pp. 8-10).
 
Circa 1830, this beauty features an Early Ovoid Form, Tall Rim, Rounded Footer, and a Garland of Flowers and Leaves Around the Middle.  There are 4 flowers and 5 leaves.  All of the garland is executed in strong cobalt blue too!  Stands 8" tall.
 
Very Good Condition.  A single 1/2" chip on the rim, three chips side by side on the footer (3/8" to 5/8"), and some light staining from use.   That's it!  No inner rim chips, hairlines, cracks, or restoration.  
 
This is an early small ovoid jar with nice decoration by Henry Remmey!
