Item 9652
 
Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this wonderful 1/2 Gallon Cream Pot.
 
The decoration is distinctive of Daniel Shenfelder who made pottery in Reading, Pennsylvania from approximately 1860-1900 (Phil Shaltenbrand, Big Ware Turners, pp. 24-26).
 
This beauty features a Cream Pot Form with Tooled Rim, Inscribed Shoulder, and a Brushed Cobalt Freehand Tulip Decoration. The tulip is the Shenfelder design of 5 base leaves and a blossom with 4 petals. Measures 6 1/4" tall and 7" wide across the top.
 
This is one of the best examples of this decoration that I have seen in ages. Strong cobalt and vibrant contrast. 
 
Excellent Condition.Traces of water glass inside and a couple minor 1/8" nibbles on the base.  That's it! No rim chips, hairlines, cracks, stains, or restoration.
