Rare Three-Gallon Stoneware Jar with Coggled Decoration and Ornamental Handles, attributed to Paul Cushman, Albany, NY, circa 1810, ovoid jar with footed base, coggled geometric designs around shoulder, and distinctive notched handles with cobalt highlights. The coggled decoration on this jar matches examples bearing the mark of Albany, NY pottery owner, Paul Cushman. While this coggle shape was also used in Old Bridge, New Jersey, the 3/4" height of the coggling on this example matches the height of Cushman's. A 1 3/4" x 1/4" restoration to one handle. Restored rim chips. A 1 7/8" x 1 3/4" restored surface flake to body, and a 7/8" x 3/4" restored surface flake to body, both of which may have been created in the firing. Heavy chipping to base. Surface wear around midsection.
