Quart Stoneware Preserving Jar c. 1941

This watercolor by George V. Vezolles, created in 1941, depicts a stoneware preserving jar. The simple composition showcases the jar's form, with its rounded body and a wide, slightly indented opening. The jar is adorned with a series of blue and white bands, suggesting a traditional, hand-painted design. The detailed rendering of the jar's texture and the subtle variations in the blue paint highlight Vezolles' skill as a watercolorist. This work represents his interest in depicting utilitarian objects with a focus on realism and craftsmanship.
