3-Gallon Ovoid Salt-glazed Cobalt-decorated Jar

 

3-Gallon Ovoid Salt-glazed Cobalt-decorated Jar
John Poole Schermerhorn, Sr., potter, crafted this jar c. 1820. A very utilitarian form, well-used but still appreciated as a work of art nearly 180 years later. See Ceramics in America, 2005 article, Ed. Robert Hunter, Rocketts Red Glare: J.P. Schermerhorn and the Early Richmond Stoneware Industry (see below for link of on-line index)
