19th. century Anchovis, Blue/White Stoneware

Price: sold

  A cobalt blue, stoneware jar, circa 1850’s or so. It sports the greatest label “Anchovis” There is also a cobalt blue band above the lettering.  The cobalt lettering reads “ANCHOVIS”–that is right, there is no E. I don’t know why, it isn’t there and never has been. Perhaps that was a form of the word in the early 1800’s, or just a mistake. The jar is in great condition and has  no cracks or hairlines. There are two small flea bites on the rim (1/8″) and a small mark on the letter I.  This jar is quite unusual and you will not see many around.  Possibly from the east coast, which really makes a lot of sense..  It measures 6.5″ tall, 4″ diameter at the mouth. sold
