IMPORTANT DAVID PARR, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA DECORATED STONEWARE JAR, salt-glazed, "1" gallon capacity mark, cylindrical form with slight shoulder, having squared rim, and beaded neck ring. Brushed cobalt dropped feather repeated three times from neck and vertically inscribed "Old man / David / Parr". Parr family pottery, Richmond, VA. Third quarter 19th century. 10" H, 6 1/8" D rim.
Catalogue Note: This jar was probably made for David Parr, Sr. (1819-1882), who established a well known pottery in Richmond, Virginia in the mid 19th century. Parr, Sr. was the nephew of Baltimore's David Parr (1786-1832), who was one of the most influential potters in the Mid-Atlantic region during the first half of the 19th century. Parr, Sr. founded his pottery around 1851, also employing his sons John L. (1837-1895), David Preston (1838-1880), and James (b. 1843 or 1844), among others. The pottery continued to use many of David Parr's (Baltimore) designs on their vessels, cementing the legacy of the Parr family in the Mid-Atlantic region. The Parr family's Richmond pottery ended operations by 1890.
