Very Rare Two-Gallon Stoneware Jar with Cobalt Script Signature, "Satterlee and Mory", George Satterlee & Michael Mory, Fort Edward, NY origin, circa 1875, cylindrical jar with rounded shoulder, applied lug handles, and semi-squared rim, the front featuring the slip-trailed cobalt signature, "Satterlee and Mory" above a cobalt-script "2". This jar is the first example of stoneware that we have seen featuring the firm's signature in cobalt script, as opposed to the typical impressed mark, "SATTERLEE & MORY / FT. EDWARD, N.Y.".
