Flowerpot and stand 1824

"Flowerpot and Stand" is a stoneware piece crafted by American potter James Pottery in 1824. The piece is a fine example of American folk pottery and is a testament to the artistic talents of the time. The flowerpot, adorned with a scalloped rim and a decorative inscription, reflects the simple beauty of everyday objects elevated to an art form. The stand, with its three legs, provides stability and enhances the overall aesthetic of the piece. This utilitarian object, now a treasured artifact in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, serves as a reminder of the rich history of American craft traditions.
