Outstanding Alkaline-Glazed Stoneware Gemel, TX origin, possibly Jefferson S. Nash Pottery, circa 1850-1860, pair of wheel-thrown ovoid jugs conjoined at the center and connected by a horizontal handle between the spouts, the surface covered in a grayish-white alkaline glaze with glossy olive runs throughout. A virtually unknown form in Southern stoneware production, this petite gemel features glaze strongly linking it to Texas's Edgefield, South Carolina-inspired potting tradition. Related glazes can be found on pieces made at the Jefferson S. Nash pottery of Marion County, Texas, as well as by potters, Cyrus Cogburn and John Davis Leopard of Rusk County, Texas, all with ties to Edgefield's potting community. A significant recent discovery in Southern alkaline-glazed stoneware. Excellent, essentially as-made condition. H (to top of handle) 4 5/8".
