Figure 28  Storage jar, Schermerhorn Pottery, Richmond, Virginia, 1817–1837. Salt-glazed stoneware. H. 14 1/2". Capacity: 2 gallons. (Private collection.) This ovoid storage jar is decorated on one side with a brushed-cobalt profile of a man—perhaps a “man-in-the-moon”—and, on the other side, an underscored capacity mark (“2”).
