Stoneware Jar c. 1937

Annie B. Johnston's "Stoneware Jar" (c. 1937) is a classic example of American folk pottery. The jar, crafted from stoneware, is decorated with a simple, yet striking, design of incised lines and dots, likely inspired by natural forms. Johnston's work, characterized by its functional and decorative qualities, reflects the rich tradition of pottery making in the United States. The jar stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of handmade objects and the craftsmanship of American folk artists.
