American: Jug, American, 1830–1850, Salt glazed stoneware, Salt glaze—a technique where large quantities of salt are thrown into the kiln during the firing process—is what gives this water jug its glossy texture. On the vessel's shoulder, the artist painted a cobalt-blue dove and enhanced its form by incising an outline around the figure. Both the glazing technique and decoration of this jug are related to the work of Henry Remmy, a 19th-century potter active in Baltimore and Philadelphia., Overall: 13 x 7 3/4 in. (33 x cm)
