Item 13284
 
Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this wonderful 1 Gallon Decorated Stoneware Ovoid Jar.
 
The form and decoration make it easily to attribute this jar to Henry Remmey, Jr. of Philadelphia, PA. He 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 a Squatty Ovoid Shape, Heavily Tooled Square Rim and Shoulder, Applied Grooved Handles with Cobalt Accent, Tooled Footer, and Brushed Cobalt Comma Vining with Dangling Blossom on Each Side.  Rich and shiny cobalt was used throughout.  Altogether, a very unusual and attractive piece!   Stands 9 1/4" tall. 
 
Very Good Condition.  A stain run on one side, minor nibbles and a 3/4" chip inside the rim, two flat 1/4" flakes on top of the rim, and a vertical 2 1/2" hairline at the base on one side (closeup).  No base chips, cracks, or restoration.
