Pennsylvania, circa 1793, attributed to Daniel Reichard (Reichert), dotted inscription to base "D.B.R., 1793", lead and manganese glaze to interior and exterior, repeating molded band depicting St. Ambrose, rouletted dots, 9 x 6-3/8 x 6-1/4 in.
Provenance: Private Collection
Accompanied by biography of Daniel Reichard (Reichart) in H.E. Comstock, The Pottery of the Shenandoah Valley Region, The Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts, Chapel Hill and London, 1994, p.455 and an article on the jar by Justin W. Thomas, Antiques and The Arts Weekly, "Religious Red Earthenware Tobacco Jars Manufactured in the Mid-Atlantic Region & Waterloo, Ontario, Canada", April 19, 2024, p. 42-43.
Note: While Daniel Reichard is listed in Comstock as a potter born in Pennsylvania and active primarily in Hagerstown, Maryland between 1805 and 1815, no works definitively attributed to him have been identified to date. As Comstock notes, he is not associated with any known maker’s mark. This piece may represent the first known attribution to Daniel Reichard.
For a similar example depicting St. Ambrose, see: Royal Ontario Museum, Crock, likely Jacob Bock, object no. 960.136.
