COFFMAN FAMILY, ROCKINGHAM CO., SHENANDOAH VALLEY OF VIRGINIA DECORATED STONEWARE "PLUMB" SQUAT POT / PRESERVE JAR, salt-glazed, compressed bulbous form with pronounced neck ring, collared rim and grooved, arched handles. Incised and cobalt-filled "Plumb" in script at shoulder. Each side with brushed and slip-trailed tripartite-bloom floral decoration repeated twice, additional cobalt at handle terminals. Attributed to Andrew Coffman (1795-1853) or one of his sons, probably at their Beldor pottery near Swift Run Gap in eastern Rockingham Co. 1845-1860. 6 3/4" H, 5 1/2" D rim.
Published: Evans/Suter - A Great Deal of Stone & Earthen Ware, p. 41, fig. 30.
Catalogue Note: This jar is from a distinctive group that are more globular in form than the squat pots associated with Heatwole and Suter. Most display decorations that are closely associated with Andrew Coffman. The decoration on this example is similar to work by John Heatwole, who worked at Beldor under Coffman during the 1845-1850 period.
