Details
Description: A beautiful glazed large redware bulbous shaped pitcher with an applied handle and a spout. The glazed pitcher is colored in a beautiful dark greenish-brown with light brown (almost yellowish-brown) mottling color. The pitcher has a flat round base extending slightly outwards in a simple rounded molded foot. The pitcher has flared rounded sides with incised banding near a shoulder. The sides meet the neck of the pitcher, which starts with a bulging strip and rises in a flared fashion to a plain rim having a pinched spout. The piece also has an ear-shaped applied handle with banding decoration. The handle starts below the banding and ends just below the rim. The piece is glazed inside and out but not on the base. The base is incised by the potter and has the words "Made In Stahl's Pottery By Thomas Stahl Mar 9th 1939" in 7 lines. A great piece worthy of a spot in your collection. Please the photos presented as they are part and parcel of our description.

Distinguishing Characteristics - Most Interesting About The Piece: This is a nice and rare piece made by a master potter from Pennsylvania.
Condition: The pitcher is in very good condition with no cracks, hairlines, or repairs. It does have general crazing to the glaze throughout. It also has a small spot along the rim where the glaze is lost. The piece also has a few minor spots of glaze loss within the body. The piece also has small scuff marks on the outside which can be seen the photos. There is also a small chip to the edge of the foot, which can also be seen in the photos. Finally, the piece also has some of the normal defects you would expect in a piece of primitive pottery of this type such as spots where the glaze did not fully flow, pops, slubs, and surface roughness. Be that as it may, this a great piece of Pennsylvania Redware pottery worthy of a spot in your collection. Please see photos for additional condition information.
