Figure 10 Storage jar, Schermerhorn Pottery, Richmond, Virginia, 1817–1850. Salt-glazed stoneware. H. 17 1/2". Mark, below handles: “5.” Capacity: 5 gallons. (Private collection; unless otherwise noted, all photos by Gavin Ashworth.) This large, ovoid storage jar is stamped with a vivid maker’s mark and, with its brushed-cobalt floral motifs of horizontally flowing vines interspersed with round blossoms, is one of the most significant signed surviving vessels made by Schermerhorn.
