| Figure 14 Storage jar, Schermerhorn Pottery, Richmond, Virginia, 1817–1837. Salt-glazed stoneware. H. 15 1/2". Capacity: 3 gallons. (Private collection.) The incised and cobalt-decorated long-legged bird on this ovoid storage jar appears to be nibbling on a cobalt flower with cobalt festoons above. The reverse is decorated with the most common motif used by Schermerhorn, opposing floral blossoms separated by flowing vines. |
