Figure 32 Storage jars, Schermerhorn Pottery, Richmond, Virginia, 1817–1837. Salt-glazed stoneware. From left to right: H. 9 1/2" (1 gallon), 11 1/2" (1 1/2 gallon), 12 1/2" (2 gallons), 13 3/4" (3 gallons), and 15" (4 gallons). (Private collection.) The squiggly cobalt mark found beneath the capacity mark in each of the vessels of this graduated series could represent a J or an S; hence, the potter’s signature is left to interpretation. |
