Cobalt-Decorated Stoneware Jar and Unusual Stoneware Test Lid, Ohio origin, mid 19th century, a two-gallon ovoid jar with flared rim and applied lug handles, decorated with a large brushed cobalt tulip design. Probably T. Reed, Tuscawaras County, Ohio. Paired with an unusual salt-glazed Ohio stoneware lid, impressed with a 6, 5, and 4. Because the lid has three different capacity numbers impressed into it, it may have been a certain pottery operation's test piece, not intended to be sold. Jar with chips and wear to rim, and an in-the-firing chip to handle. Lid in mint condition. H (of jar) 12 1/2".
