• Lot Description
  A.E. Smith & Sons (American (Connecticut), 1825-1887), circa 1860 and Orson Hart Seymour (1807-1883), circa 1871-1873. Two - four gallon stoneware crocks; the first a cylindrical jar with tooled shoulder and applied lug handles decorated in cobalt in large brushed flower; likely a tulip and impressed "4" directly above. Cobalt highlights to the oval impressed maker's mark below mouth. Stamped "A.E. SMITH & SONS, / MANUFACTURERS, / 38 Peck Slip, N.Y.". The second a wide-mouthed stoneware jar or crock with a brown glaze on the interior and exterior with delicate pulled lug handles applied to both sides. Front of jar has hand painted cobalt blue tulips just below the impressed makers mark "O. H. SEYMOUR/ HARTFORD/ 4". Approximate height of Smith crock 14.25". Approximate height of Seymour crock 11", diameter of mouth 12". Note: The mark on this churn (38 Peck Slip) was used by the pottery from 1855-1874. Though the factory was located in Norwalk, Connecticut, all of the finished products were stored at the company warehouse at 38 Peck Slip, New York, before being shipped to various customers all over the United States. Orson Hart Seymour was born in New Britain, Connecticut on 1 September 1807. He was a merchant in New Britain, Connecticut, where he was deacon of the South Church for eighteen years. He moved to Hartford, Connecticut, in 1864 and became a potter. He first worked with Charles T. Webster in the firm of Webster & Seymour. In 1866 the firm became Seymour Brothers (1866-1871). Henry Phelps died in 1871, Orson Hart Seymour may have worked alone for two years before he organized the company of Seymour & Bosworth in 1873. The partnership of Seymour & Bosworth most likely continued until O. H. Seymour's death in 1883.

  Condition

  Condition report statements are provided as a courtesy to interested clients by request - these reports state our professional opinion and should not be treated as a statement of fact. As such, Ahlers & Ogletree Auction Gallery is not responsible for any omissions or errors to these condition reports. It is important to note that the absence of a condition report does not mean that the lot is in perfect condition. Prior to bidding, please consult the additional photos provided and ask all pertinent questions (i.e. condition, size, etc.). Packing and shipping is the responsibility of the buyer, please see our website for a list of shipping companies. For a condition report, please email Condition@AandOauctions.com. For additional photos, please email Photos@AandOauctions.com. Please note, Ahlers & Ogletree Auction Gallery sells items at a rate of approximately 80 to 100 lots per hour in a live auction setting. Since the auction moves quickly, online bidding platforms are,at times, unable to keep up with the pace. To avoid potential disappointment when bidding on an online platform, consider placing a realistic absentee bid in advance of the sale. Priority, in regards to bidding, goes to in-house floor bidders. Occasionally, the auctioneer may reject a live online bid and/or reopen a lot after the close of online bidding (typically due to a missed in-house floor bid). Due to this possibility, at times the online bidding platform will show an online bidder as the winning bid when they are not. All final winning bidders will be notified via invoicing from Ahlers & Ogletree typically by the Monday immediately following the sale. To bid with Ahlers & Ogletree as a phone or absentee bidder, please feel free to email us at bid@AandOAuctions.com. Lastly, please make sure to read over our firm's Terms and Conditions of Sale before bidding.
