This beauty features a Tooled Flared Rim, Inscribed Shoulder, Applied Handles, and a Tulip with Dotted Leaves and Striped Petals. This was a design distinctive to the Hudson River Pottery.  Simple but commanding of the entire front of the jar!  Stands 12 3/4" tall.
 
Excellent Condition.  A bit of staining behind the left handle by the kiln touch.  That's it!  No rim or base chips, hairlines, cracks, or restoration.
