Exceptional Stoneware Rundlet with Elaborate Cobalt Floral and Line Decorations, attributed to H.H. Zigler, Newville, PA, circa 1855, ovoid form with flared based, rounded base and rim moldings, and ten-sided spigot at midsection. Both sides profusely decorated with a large floral spray, featuring four large tulips extending from a cross-shaped pattern of leaves. Top and bottom surface with slip-trailed wavy line decoration surrounding a slip-trailed bull's eye motif at center. An important recent discovery in Newville stoneware, and one of the finest examples from the region to surface in many years. Provenance: A fresh-to-the-market example, recently found in North Carolina. Large chips to base. Large salt drip to reverse. Two minor nicks to bunghole. H 11 3/4".
