Figure 11 Jar, attributed to Jacob Foulk, Morgantown, West Virginia,
ca. 1802 1817. Earthenware. H. 7 3/4". (Private
collection; photo, Gavin Ashworth.) This cylindrical string-tie storage
jar has green and black brushed slip decoration. The rim has narrow black
brushed slip stripes. All of these appear to be more hurried than the other
brushed slip examples. Note that the green is brighter than usual when applied
directly to a red body. The slip probably included white clay as a substitute
for engobe. |
