Rare Three-Gallon Open-Handled Stoneware Jar with Slip-Trailed Floral Decoration, attributed to William Morgan, possibly with Thomas Amoss, Baltimore, MD, circa 1822, ovoid jar with footed base, tooled shoulder, tall collar, and open loop handles. Decorated on the front and reverse with a drape-like vine capped by daisies. Unusual cobalt script "3" surrounded by dots below. Cobalt highlights to handle terminals. Excellent form, color, and decoration. One side with an 8 1/2" crack extending from a filled chip at rim. Other side with a 3" hairline from rim. Base chips. Some faint crazing to base, presumably in-the-firing.
