Item 13109
 
Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this uncommon 3 Gallon Ovoid Jar made and stamped by "Kelin and Harbaugh."  
 
This is the work of Charles Kelin who ran his pottery in Beaver, PA in the 1850's and 1860's and took a partner with the last name Harbaugh in the 1860's.  Their pottery is uncommon.   Shaltenbrand remarks, "Early Kelin pieces as well as those from the Kelin & Harbaugh firm are very rare and most desirable" (Phil Shaltenbrand, Big Ware Turners, pp. 135-137). 
 
This beauty features a Heavy Construction, Ovoid Form, Tooled Rim, Applied Handles with Cobalt at the Terminals, Pottery Stamp with Cobalt Wash, and a Brushed Cobalt Tulip with Three Blossoms.  Stands 13 3/4" tall.
 
Very Good Condition.  A 1" chip on the rim on the right side and a 1" chip on the back of the handle below it.  Overall light staining and glaze wear.  No inner rim chips, hairlines, cracks, or restoration.
