Extremely Rare Glazed Redware Jug, attributed to Silas Watkins, Randolph or Guilford Counties, NC, mid 19th century, highly-ovoid jug with footed base, heavily-ribbed handle, and semi-rounded spout, the upper and lower body embellished with elaborate incised line decoration, the surface covered in a thick lead-and-manganese glaze. One of a small number of attributed or signed examples of Silas Watkins redware known, this handsome jug displays his artistry as a potter. In her notes, Wahler states, "I spotted this for a Silas Watkins. Our jar was in Texas at the time but Hal and Eleanor Pugh believe I am correct in the attribution." Minor chipping to spout. A 1" in-the-firing ping to side of jug. Some surface wear and other minor pings to surface. H 11 1/2".
