(Pottersville, Edgefield County, South Carolina, circa 1830s) mottled olive green lime glaze, tapered ovoid form, large applied strap handles on shoulder, double collared spout, 17 in.

Provenance: From the Folklife Collection of Southern Pottery Scholar, Author and Professor of English at Georgia State University, Dr. John Burrison, Atlanta, Georgia

Note: In the catalog description from Shaping Traditions: Folk Arts in a Changing South, John Burrison, University of Georgia Press, 2000, pg. 119, cat. no. 279, Burrison writes, "Abner's shop changed ownership several times after he sold it in 1828 and was likely operated by Nathaniel Ramey when this piece was made. Double collared neck and sturdy handles perched on the shoulder are typical Edgefield District jug features; early jugs and jars such as this tend to have a bulbous shape."

Exhibited: Previously on Loan at the Atlanta History Center for viewing in the exhibition Shaping Traditions: Folk Arts in the Changing South from 1996 to 2024
