Jar c. 1936

Charles Caseau’s “Jar” is a watercolor on paper that depicts a stoneware jar with a label for “G. Crolius Stone-Ware Manufacturer, Manhattan Wells, New York.” This design for a jar was likely meant for the production of stoneware by the Crolius company, which was known for its high-quality pottery. The work is part of a larger collection of watercolors and sketches by Caseau, which document his work as a designer and ceramicist.
