19th C. PA or MD Double Handled Redware Crock

Henry Schofield was an expert potter that worked from the 1850's on in Chester County, Pennsylvania and later into the early 20th C. in Cecil County, Maryland. This particular piece of Schofield redware was his signature design- a double handled redware crock with fluted rim and distinctive stamped design around the mid-section. What I particularly like about this crock is not only the condition but the outside has a thin clear glaze that sets this crock apart from most Schofield examples of this design. The crock stands 6" tall and is excellent condition. The interior is finished with a heavier glaze with manganese spots. An exceptional example of Schofield's signature work!

This circa 1875-1885 cobalt blue decorated stoneware crock was produced by James Hamilton of Greensboro, Pennsylvania. It was made for E.J. Miller & Son, an importer located in Alexandria, Virginia. The 1.5 gallon crock was expertly thrown with a tooled shoulder line and wide collar. The front of the crock is decorated with a stencil and 4 brushed lines. The interior of the crock is finished in an Albany slip brown glaze. The crock stands 10 3/4" tall and displays beautifully. There is a very faint hairline to the right of the stenciled design that is associated with a small filled chip. The interior of the crock has a repaired stone pop. Please see photos. A fine example of decorated stoneware from a highly desirable Western Pennsylvania maker. More photos on Ruby Lane.

19th C. 2 Gal. Western PA Stencil Jug

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.

Probably produced in Eastern Pennsylvania, the diminutive jar is in excellent condition with just a minor shallow flake on the inner top rim. A nice little crock that fits in the palm of your hand!
