Jar still bank c. 1860

This 19th-century ceramic jar still bank is a testament to the practicality and artistry of folk pottery. Created around 1860, the anonymous artist's piece is a quintessential example of the genre, featuring a simple, rounded form and a single, functional opening. The earthy, brown glaze, with subtle variations in tone, adds depth and warmth to the object, showcasing the craft of the maker. The small size and traditional function suggest this still bank was intended for personal use, perhaps by a child saving their pennies.
