Figure 42 Storage jar, attributed to John P. Schermerhorn, Samuel Wilson, and/or associates, Richmond or Henrico County, Virginia, 1817–1850. Salt-glazed stoneware. H. 14 1/2". Capacity: 4 gallons. (Private collection.) This robust jar, with its diminutive, slightly rolled rim and concave neck, has on its front three incised concentric ridges at the shoulder, slightly curved earlike handles with cobalt at the ends, and brushed-cobalt loops (swags) and tassels along the shoulder. On the reverse are two simple tassels of four paired leaves. The rim resembles wares produced in Rockbridge County; the handles, however, resemble some Morgan-Wilson-related vessels from Staunton, Virginia.
