Very Large 21" Butternut Bowl in Yellow w/ Repair

This primitive early bowl measures a large 21" x 20" x 7" tall and weighs a hefty 8.5 pounds. It retains a very old yellow paint on the outside and is turned out of butternut, a type of lighter colored walnut. The bowl has a wonderfully old make-do repair that has stabilized a crack down one side. There are also two small holes in the edge of the bowl and some other age cracks as shown. The yellow paint is guaranteed old and has traces of a later white that has apparently been removed. A primitive bowl that has survived 200 years! More photos on Ruby Lane.

2 Gal. Western PA Blue Decorated Stoneware Crock

This blue decorated 2 gallon stoneware crock is unsigned but is easily identified as the work of the Boughner family of Greensboro, Pennsylvania. The family operated their factory for about 20 years in their Western PA town in the mid-1800's. This particular example is in fine condition with no cracks, lines, chips, or repairs. There is a tiny stone hole in the top rim opposite the notch. (I always thought the notch was put there as an aid in prying lids off of wax sealers but this crock is not a wax sealer) There is also a stone in one of the seven blue stripes. The interior is finished in Albany slip and is extremely smooth. The jar measures 11 1/2" tall and about 8" in diameter at its widest point near the top. A superb Western PA crock with excellent blue/grey contrast!

19th C. 1/2 G. Stoneware Pitcher w/ Blue Slip Dec.

We have seen other pieces of stoneware with this decoration before. They always are marked with the capacity in freehand script (in this case 1/2 gallon). This pitcher has the typical cobalt slip-trailed leafy decoration that is always attributed to "New Jersey" or sometimes "New York or New Jersey". I like to call it the mystery maker because nobody really knows for sure, at least I don't think so. This particular pitcher displays beautifully and I like the size (9" tall). It is in good condition but it does have a shallow rim chip and a professional repair on the top rim to the right of the "G". Priced accordingly. Please click on our Ruby Lane website (above) for more photos.

This 2 gallon stoneware jug with cobalt blue stencil comes from Western Pennsylvania and dates to around 1880. I have seen this stencil on signed pieces from Greensboro. This particular jug has three "owl in flight" stencils and a number "2" capacity stencil. The glaze has an interesting speckled effect around the entire jug. There is a 1/2" chip on the spout and a spider crack on the side as shown. The jug measures 15 1/2" tall and about 8" in diameter. The form is slightly ovoid and would be considered a "beehive" shape.
