An estimate is an expected selling price for an item at auction. The price ranges for each lot are considered conservative in value, and are listed as a courtesy to our bidders to give them an idea of how much they may be expected to pay to win the item. It is entirely possible for an item to sell for less or more than the given estimate.
×Unlike almost every major auction house in the country, we handle our own shipping in-house. We understand how frustrating it can be to have to work with third-party shippers to have your objects delivered to you. Meanwhile, we also understand how important it is for you to receive your objects safely. We have over 40 years of experience safely packing antique ceramics. By default your invoice will include a shipping total via UPS Ground; you can also, of course, pick up objects at our gallery. Please feel free to contact us if you would like a quote. (A very few lots will have notes at the end of their descriptions letting you know that the object is too big or fragile for us to handle shipping ourselves.)

Unusual Manganese-Decorated Redware Jar, American, possibly Western PA or NC origin, mid 19th century, ovoid jar with tooled shoulder, semi-rounded rim, and two applied strap handles at the shoulder, the lead-glazed exterior decorated throughout with splashed manganese over a reddish ground, the interior coated in a clear lead glaze over an orange ground. The provenance of the jar suggests it was possibly made in the Western Pennsylvania area, although an attribution to Davidson County, North Carolina has also been suggested. Provenance: Crayon inscription on the underside reads, "Bought in / Mapletown / Likely / Early / Greensboro," indicating it was found in Western Pennsylvania. Chips and wear to rim and interior of rim. One handle broken and reglued. Wear to surface. Heavy chipping to base. H 9 3/4".
