Item 9972
Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this splendid 2 Gallon Stoneware Jar whose decoration indicates that it was made by the Hudson Pottery Co., Hudson, N.Y.
The Hudson Pottery of Hudson, N.Y. was founded in 1868 by Amos S. Hover and Charles Fingar. They were businessman and employed only one potter- Benjamin Wolford- who once worked in Athens, N.Y. Production was low and the company was out of business by 1871 (William Ketchum, Jr., Potters and Potteries of New York State, 1650-1900 , p. 113).
This beauty features a Folky Bird with Dotted Breast Perched on the Tip of a Dotted Tulip. Both the bird and the tulip are distinctive decorations of this pottery. Stands 12" tall.
Good Condition with Restoration. Professional restoration for a hairline from the rim above the capacity number straight down to the top of the flower (closeup). Very had to see. A faint 3" hairline at the bottom that wraps under to a Y-shaped hairline not visible inside and partly in the firing. No rim or chips or stains.
A great example of the few surviving pieces of this short-lived pottery.
