Pitcher 1847 - 1850

This cobalt blue pitcher, produced by the Jersey City Pottery between 1847 and 1850, is a fine example of American stoneware. The pitcher's elegant form, featuring a bulbous body and a graceful spout, is further enhanced by delicate molded details, including a rope-like rim and stylized leaf motifs. The deep blue glaze, a signature of Jersey City Pottery, adds a striking contrast to the white earthenware body. This pitcher, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the artistry and skill of early American potters.
