likely Randolph County Area, North Carolina, mid 19th century, unusual salt glaze jar, applied iron slip flourish motif around upper body of jar, ash runs to one side of jar over decoration, angled neck, tooled down angled flat rim, 10 in.
Provenance: The Sally and Paul Hawkins Collection
Note: The decoration on the jar is very unusual for NC salt glazed stoneware, this decoration has some similarities to decorations on Thomas Chandler jars from his Horse Pen Creek Pottery at Kirksey's Crossroads during the 1840s, potters in NC using salt glazes did decorate wares but not typically in this style.
