Offered here without reserve from my personal collection is a fine hand thrown salt glazed stoneware cylindrical storage jar crock of 2 Gal size, with very large applied lug handles. Stamped below the 1/8" raised collar BALLARD & BROTHERS BURLINGTON. V.T. with a two stem tulip floral cobalt blue slip decorated motif beneath (stamp very pronounced). A nice beige stoneware body with heavily salt.
height 11 1/4in; widest diameter 9 1/2in; diameter at base 8 3/4in
In ex...cellent condition, my only apology is a small area to the rim with an old repair (as pictured, just to the upper left of stamp). Typical surface wear and imperfections / discoloration from firing process.
In 1859 two of the Ballard pottery owners, brothers Orrin and Alfred moved back to Burlington from Portland, Maine and ran the pottery together until 1867.
