Figure 33 Storage jar, Schermerhorn Pottery, Richmond, Virginia, 1817–1837. Salt-glazed stoneware. H. 13 1/2". Capacity: 3 gallons. (Private collection.) A brushed cobalt date (“1837”) appears on the side of this vessel; on the reverse, a characteristic capacity mark (“3”) is underscored with a horizontal line and possibly a J, with blue highlights at the terminations of both extruded crescent-shaped handles and rounded rim. The date might refer to Schermerhorn’s last year of potting in Richmond. This piece was pictured in H. E. Comstock, Pottery of the Shenandoah Valley Region (Winston-Salem, N.C.: Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts, 1994), p. 317, fig. 6.3, where it was incorrectly attributed to Rockbridge.
