Figure 5  Beer or water cooler, George N. Fulton, David Parr’s Pottery, Richmond, Virginia, 1856. Salt-glazed stoneware. H. 29 1/4". (Courtesy, The Greenbrier; photo, Gavin Ashworth.) A monumental twenty-gallon beer or water cooler. The incised word “Painted” appears on the vessel to the right of the arrows in the eagle’s talons and strongly suggests that Fulton was involved with the vessel’s decoration, if not manufacture.
