- Lot Description
SOUTHWESTERN VALLEY OF VIRGINIA DECORATED STONEWARE JAR / URN, salt-glazed, approximately one-gallon capacity, graceful tall ovoid form with tie-off groove below the angled rim. Brushed cobalt floral decoration on both sides. Attributed to the Brown family, Botetourt, Alleghany, or Tazewell Co. Circa 1850. 11 5/8" H, 4" D rim.
Literature: For an identical form see the MESDA Journal, Vol. XXI, No. 2 (Winter 1995), p. 110, fig. 3, and Hunter (ed.) - Ceramics in America 2004, p. 165, fig. 13, right.
Provenance: Property of a Virginia private collector.
Catalogue Note: The attribution for this jar is based on an example of identical form that is stamped "G. A. Brown" and illustrated in the references cited above. Kurt Russ' article "Exploring Western Virginia Potteries" identifies three members of the Brown family who were listed as potters in the 1850 Federal Census for Alleghany Co. This includes John Brown (b. 1801) and his two sons Gustavus A. Brown (b. 1834) and John W. Brown (b. 1834). Gustavus Brown was born in Botetourt Co. so it is likely that his father was working there at that time. By 1860 the elder Brown was working as a potter in Tazewell Co. while Gustavus had moved to Henrico Co. where he married Parmelia Duke and worked as a "Stone Potter" at a yet to be identified pottery.Excellent undamaged condition, outstanding color.Condition
