Item 12599
 
Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this Gorgeous 3 Gallon Stoneware Jar made and stamped by "N. Clark & Co., Rochester." 
 
This is the work of Nathan Clark who ran the pottery in Athens, New York and this satellite pottery in Rochester, New York from 1839 to 1851 (William Ketchum, Jr., Potters and Potteries of New York State, 1650-1900, pp. 372, 377). 
 
This beauty sports the Preserve Jar Form, Pottery Stamp with Cobalt Wash, and a Large Floral in Bright Cobalt.  Four open leaves support a blossom with 15 dotted petals and a center with 18 dots.  Did I say "bright cobalt" already?  Stands 13 3/4" tall. 
 
Very Good Condition.  A narrow 3" wear spot from the far left leaf off to the left, a minor 1 1/2" vertical hairline on the bottom right side that wraps under 3" (closeup), and a couple of small stains.  No rim or base chips, cracks, or restoration.
