Item 12567
 
Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this wonderful and early 1 Gallon Ovoid Jug. The distinctive shape and decoration indicate that this is the work of Abial Price of Middletown Point, New Jersey who ran his pottery from 1840 to his death in 1852 (M. Lelyn Branin, The Early Makers of Handcrafted Earthenware and Stoneware in Central and Southern New Jersey , p. 114-115, 194-195).
 
This beauty features an Ovoid Form, Tall Neck with Squared Rim, Thick Applied Handle with Cobalt at the Terminals, and a Large Brushed Cobalt Tulip.  The tulip has three leaves and a blossom with three petals-- all in bright cobalt blue.  Stands 12 3/4" tall.
 
If you like the ovoid form and large floral decorations in bright cobalt, here you go!
 
Excellent Condition.  A minor 1/8" nibble on the spout and two small chips on the base (3/8", 5/8").  That's it!  No hairlines, cracks, stains, or restoration.  A stone ping on the outside of the handle in the making and glazed over.
