IMPORTANT STAMPED "A.COFFMAN / ROCKIGHAM (SIC) VA.", ROCKINGHAM CO., SHENANDOAH VALLEY OF VIRGINIA DECORATED STONEWARE COVERED SUGAR BOWL, salt-glazed, the diminutive wide-mouth form having a flat-top rim, applied ear-form handles, and a pronounced foot, retaining its original cover with an unusual tall button-top finial. Brushed cobalt covering the top of the cover and upper half of the bowl, with additional slip-trailed cobalt elongated "S" decoration surrounding the lower half of the bowl. The pottery of Andrew Coffman (1795-1853), Elkton or Beldor, in eastern Rockingham Co. 1840-1853. 5 1/2" HOA, 3 3/4" H bowl, 4 7/8" D rim, 3 3/8" D foot.
Catalogue Note: The present sugar bowl, one of only three signed examples known by Coffman, was recently discovered in a local estate. It contains a note: "This sugar bowl made by Andrew Coffman, clay pottery, Rockingham, Va. (Elkton) for my Great Grandad Maiden. Momma gave to me. Hattie" by Hattie Monger Kiblinger (1910-1977), Ladd, Augusta Co., VA. She received the bowl from her mother, Mary Ella Baugher Monger (1869-1956) of Elkton, VA, who received the bowl from her mother Virinda Jane Maiden Baugher (1838-1908), Swift Run/Elkton, VA, the daughter of William David Maiden (1788-1875) of Elkton, VA. Another of William's daughters, Sarah Elizabeth Maiden (1823-1876), married Ezekial Lam (1820-1881) in 1847. Ezekiel's brother was potter Isaac D. Lam (1832-1887) who was an apprentice to Andrew Coffman and living with Andrew's son William Coffman in the 1850 Federal Census. It is possible that Isaac or Ezekial had a hand in making this sugar bowl, which would possibly account for its non-traditional Coffman form and decoration. Research is ongoing.    

Condition

Exceptional condition, having only two shallow small chips and two flakes to the underside of the bowl rim and a shallow chip to the underside of the cover.
