Two-Gallon Stoneware Pitcher with Incised Decoration, Midwestern origin, probably OH, circa 1835, ovoid pitcher with short, heavily-tooled collar, decorated with an incised design of a planted basket, the plant highlighted in cobalt slip, the basket highlighted in unusual white slip. Further decorated below with an incised vine motif, including vines resembling snakes flanking the planted basket. Numerous impressed dots appear throughout the incised decoration, additionally forming the eyes of the snake-like vines. A barely legible word, something like "BLAND," appears near the base on the front of the pitcher and may have been achieved with cobalt beneath the pitcher's slip coating or by somehow carving it into the slip. A top-to-bottom spider crack from rim on pitcher's proper right side, extending onto underside. An additional tight spider crack to reverse below handle. Some crazing to handle. A 4" hairline to left side of pitcher's collar. H 12 1/4".
