AMERICAN, POSSIBLY NORTH CAROLINA, STONEWARE GRAVE MARKER, salt-glazed, jug form with pointed finial, incised "J P Morgan / Beloved Son / Born May 1 / 1831 / Died Sept 13 / 1835", additional decorative incised ornaments and wavy lines surrounding inscription and above foot. Undetermined age. 20" H, 8 3/8" D base.
Literature: Form parallels Zug - Turners and Burners: The Folk Potters of North Carolina, p. 357, fig. 12-2 right.
Catalogue Note: Dr. Charles "Terry" Zug, III, professor emeritus of folklore and English at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, curated an exhibit titled "'Remember Me As You Pass By', North Carolina's Ceramic Grave Markers" at the North Carolina Pottery Center from August 19 to October 29, 2011. He included the current marker, lot 1296 from this sale, and two other similar markers in the exhibit and printed catalogue. He writes in the catalogue, "The final trio of early markers all seemingly made by the same hand, remains a mystery. We do not know who made them or where they were produced, and in fact, they may not be North Carolina. Several scholars have attributed them to Union County because of their general form, but their color, texture, inscriptions, and decoration are very different from the three once in Laney-Trinity Cemetery." He goes on to say, "The wide range of dates for these four - 1835, 1865, 1901 - is puzzling, and the name J.P. Morgan is suspicious. Until some provenance is established, they will have to remain in ceramic limbo."
Mostly undamaged, having a shallow chip to underside of foot, possibly as made.
