Offered here without reserve from my personal collection is a fine hand thrown salt glazed stoneware cylindrical storage crock/jar of 3 Gal size, with applied lug handles. Stamped below the incising on the collar COWDEN & WILCOX HARRISBURG, PA and numbered 3 with a beautifully hand brushed cobalt blue three stem tulip floral motif beneath (stamp very pronounced). A nice light-medium gray stoneware body with heavily salt glazed frog skin surface, cobalt accents to lug hand...les and to stamp.
height 13 1/2 in; widest diameter 9 1/2in; diameter at base 9 1/4in
In excellent condition, my only apology is a small area to the right lug handle with flaking / small old loss (as pictured). Typical surface wear and surface discoloration from firing process throughout.
The Cowden family pottery beginning in 1861 by John W. Cowden operated as "Cowden & Wilcox" from 1870 to 1881, after John Cowden's death in 1872 his son Frederick H. Cowden took control of the pottery. Frederick Cowden operated as F. H. Cowden after 1881 until 1888.
