Fine Stoneware Canning Jar with Cobalt Tulip Motif, attributed to Henry Atchison, New Geneva, PA, circa 1860, tapered jar with tooled shoulder and flared rim with inner "wax sealer" rim, decorated on the front with a large, artistically-brushed design of a three-petaled tulip emanating from a curving, leafy stem. Very nice condition with no chips. A rough in-the-firing salt drip at base on reverse. Two minor in-the-firing contact marks to side of jar. A faint 4 3/8" vertical surface line on side of jar, not visible on interior and possibly in-the-firing. H 8 1/4".
