STAMPED "J.M. BARLOW" WASHINGTON COUNTY, VALLEY OF VIRGINIA DECORATED STONEWARE JAR
STAMPED "J.M. BARLOW" WASHINGTON COUNTY, VALLEY OF VIRGINIA DECORATED STONEWARE JAR, salt-glazed, "2" gallon capacity mark, cylindrical form with incised ring below the flat-top rounded rim, Albany-slip glazed interior. Brushed cobalt upright tulip decoration repeated three times. J.M. Barlow (b.1856), Washington Co., VA. 1880-1896.
Condition: Square shaped freeze crack above base and onto underside, having moderate shallow chip and hairline to rim, moderate discoloration. Firing imperfections, including glaze pops, as made.
Size: 9 1/2" H, 9" D rim.
Provenance: Catalogue Note: According to White, there are few known Barlow vessels bearing cobalt decoration.

Magee, whose stoneware vessels often exhibited a similar floral cobalt design.
