Figure 45  Storage jar, attributed to John P. Schermerhorn, Samuel Wilson, and/or associates, Richmond or Henrico County, Virginia, 1817–1850. Salt-glazed stoneware. H. 11 1/4". Capacity: 2 gallons. (Private collection; photo, Kurt C. Russ.) The bold, incised ridges at its shoulder, the slightly curved earlike handles with blue only at the terminals, and the impressed capacity stamp (“2”) encircled with teeth and incorporated into a blossom that extends upward from four opposing single-stroke brushed leaves resemble decorations on vessels illustrated in figs. 42 and 43.
