SIGNED CHARLES F. DECKER, JR. (EAST TENNESSEE, 1856-1905) MINIATURE / TOY PRESENTATION STONEWARE JUG, manganese slip under salt glaze, beehive form with applied handle, incised sine wave decoration around the shoulder with additional neck ring, profusely incised in script across the front with an inscription for "Glen H. Broyles / Table Rock / Nebr." and the date "Sep. 7 / 93", with an incised dividing line flanking the rear inscription "Made by / C. F. Decker Jr. / Chucky Valley Tenn." Circa 1893. 4 1/8" H.
Literature: Jonesborough/Washington County History Museum - The Pottery of Charles F. Decker: A Life Well Made, jug form p. 8, fig. 1 (right), inscription p. 56, fig. 1 (left).
Catalogue Note: This jug's unusual glaze and distinctive form would identify it as a Keystone Pottery product even without the bold signature and date inscribed by its maker. Of great interest, though, is its inscription apparently identifying it as a "toy" presentation piece for a young resident of the small town of Table Rock, Nebraska. Glen H. Broyles was born October 1st, 1888 in Nebraska, making him only a few years old at the time this jug was made. His father, Dr. Franklin H. Broyles, was born in the Chuckey Valley of Tennessee in 1859 and moved to Nebraska (and later Missouri). The relationship between the Decker and Broyles families appears to have stayed close; another toy presentation piece is known to be dedicated to "Emily Broyles", pictured in A Life Well Made.
Undamaged.
From the Dr. Donald Ramsey estate collection, Farragut, TN.
