Fine Small-Sized Stoneware Jug with Cobalt Decoration, Stamped "C. CROLIUS / MANUFACTURER / NEW-YORK", early 19th century, highly-ovoid jug with tooled spout, impressed with a Clarkson Crolius, Sr. oval maker's mark, underscored by curving cobalt brushwork. Excellent size and form. Provenance: A fresh-to-the-market example, from a fifty-year private collection. Very nice condition with a few tight lines to bottom third of jug, possibly in-the-firing, a small in-the-firing contact mark below handle, and a small in-the-firing contact mark to lower handle terminals. H 7 1/2".
