Exceptional Six-Gallon Cobalt-Decorated Stoneware People Crock, Uniontown, PA origin, circa 1865, cylindrical jar with semi-rounded rim, tooling to midsection and shoulder, and extruded lug handles, brush-decorated with a design of a family with father holding a walking stick beside his wife and child, standing on a stylized ground flanked by large foliate motifs. Distinctive Uniontown trumpet flower motif above. Impressed "6" at shoulder. This jar's large size and rare depiction of three people on the same vessel, charmingly painted as a family, rank it as the finest example of Uniontown stoneware to come to auction in years. Excellent, essentially as-made condition with an in-the-firing chip to proper left handle, an in-the-firing contact mark with clay residue to shoulder on reverse, a narrow in-the-firing contact mark at base, and a somewhat out-of-round rim. H 16 3/4".
