Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this unusual 8 1/4" Stoneware Jar with Dangling Tulips from Baltimore, Maryland.  
 
Dating around 1870, this beauty features a carefully tooled rim with an unusual garland of three units of upward and downward turned comma vining, each hosting a dangling tulip.   This is not a typical configuration of decoration which is unfortunate because it works so well!  Stands 8 1/4" tall. 
 
Excellent condition.  A faint 3" hairline on the bottom (closeup).  No chips, side hairlines, cracks, stains, or restoration.
 
A very decorative small size jar with "out of the box" decoration.
