Item 8643
Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this wonderful 1 Gallon Jar made and stamped by the "Beaumont Pottery, York, Maine. It is the work of Jerry Beaumont in 1986 as the initials "JB", date, and cross inscribed on the bottom indicate.
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 beauty features a the Pottery Stamp with Cobalt Wash and a Finely Executed Fife and Drum Pair. The decoration is outlined with a slip cup and filled in with a brush. Great detail and brilliant Cobalt. Stands 9 5/8" tall.
The decoration is patterned after a crock by Macquoid of New York in the late 19th century that sold at Pook and Pook for $51,000 in 2021. This one is much less expensive!
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.
