Item 10212
 
Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this wonderful 2 Gallon Jar made by "R. T. Williams, Manufacturer.  
 
This is the work of Robert T. Williams who worked in New Geneva, PA from 1882 to 1895 (Phil Shaltenbrand, Big Ware Turners , pp. 168-70).
 
This beauty features a Rounded Shape, Tooled Rim accented with a Straight Stripe, Shoulder decorated with a Wavy Stripe, Body Displaying the Company Advertising, and the Base Bearing a Large "2" Capacity Number Flanked by Florals and Underscored by a Broad Straight Stripe.  Stands 12" tall.  
 
One of best pieces I have seen by this potter.  It was fired with wood and not coal as he later did, so it has a warm gray coloration and bold, dark cobalt-- a combination that provides strong contrast.  
 
Exceptional Condition.  As made.  No damage of any kind.  Looks like the day it came out of the kiln.
