Rare Half-Gallon Vertical-Handled Stoneware Jar with Cobalt Floral Decoration, Manhattan, NY origin, probably Crolius Family, fourth quarter 18th century, ovoid jar with footed base, tooled shoulder, and applied vertical handles, decorated on the front and reverse with a slip-trailed design featuring a flower bud emanating from splayed, graduated leaves. Excellent size, form, decoration, and condition. This jar survives in exceptional condition for its age, with some minor rim chips, a small in-the-firing separation to side of one handle, and some short faint lines to base area, not visible on the interior and likely in-the-firing. H 7 1/4".
