Very Rare Two-Gallon Stoneware Jug with Cobalt Floral Decoration, Stamped "J.H. BROOKS. / OLEAN, NY", mid 19th century, ovoid jug with semi-rounded spout, decorated with a large brushed tulip motif. Brushed cobalt highlights to maker's mark and capacity mark. According to Ketchum's The Potters and Potteries of New York State: 1650-1900, only two known signed examples bearing this mark were known at the time of the book's publication. Excellent, essentially as-made condition with some small bubbled spots to cobalt.
