Damage/Repairs: Portion of the lip has been repaired but it would take a museum expert with detect it with the naked eye. Excellent overall condition.

Description: Index of Southern Potters by Howard A. Smith Considered the Bible of southern pottery. Third printing being sold as new - mint condition. Covers 17th to 20th century.

Description: Brothers In Clay: The Story of Georgia Folk Pottery by John A. Burrison Mint-Unused-Unread. Out of print. Hundreds of photographs. Contains information on Georgia, Edgefield, Catawba Valley.

Description/Dimensions: Brownish, green alkaline glaze. Lug handles and coil thrown. 14 1/4" tall, 13" at widest point. Weighs 18lbs. Dates to the mid 1800s. Note the four slave marks and the finger prints left by the potter at the lower edge of the jar. Purchased in 1990 from a Georgia collector.

Damage/Repairs: Handles show some chipping. Two shallow chips to the body of the jar that look like blow-outs from firing, some wear to the top rim and some glaze skips. Blow-outs are 3/4" x 1/4" and approximately 3" away from one another.

Description/Dimensions: Wonderfully marked Dave piece. Under rim in large, hand incised script, is "Lm - Oct 10 - 1861" and just below the year is "Dave" in large script. On the back is a slash "X" just to the left of the handle. 13 1/2" tall x 13" diameter at the widest point. Base and rim are both 9" across. Very well formed, rich grey-brown alkaline glaze with deep olive drippings. Neck is beautifully tooled below rim, and lug handles are symmetrical. Marks are inscribed horizontally below rim and the overall impression of the pot is that Dave had reached a degree of sophistication not often seen in his early work.

Damage/Repairs: continued on next photo.

Damage/Repairs: Thoroughly original and unrepaired. There is a 5", stable, hairline crack running down from the front rim between Dave's signature and the handle. Another 4 1/2" hairline crack runs down from a 1" chip on the underside of the rear rim. There is a 3/4" chip on the corner of one handle and a 1 1/2" chip on the edge of the same handle. The wear on the base and inside of rim and a few small glaze scuffs on the outside are consistent with many years of use, but could not be termed serious flaws. The inside looks as good as the outside.

Provenance: Collected in NE Georgia in summer of 1973 by a young Texan who wife was attending Emory. It remained in his private collection until he sold it to the present owner in the 1980s.

Description/Dimensions: Characteristics of "Dave" from the 1850s. 14" tall x 12 1/2" in diameter at its widest point. Base is 9" across and the rim is 9 1/2". Well-formed, mottled, rich brown alkaline glaze. Classic, early style tie rim and lug handles. Marks are clearly inscribed on shoulder just below rim. Running vertically just under the rim in large, hand incised script, is "Lm". To the right of that mark, there is a double slash mark.

Description/Repairs: Continued on next photo.

Damage/Repairs: Thoroughly original and unrepaired pot. There is a 1 1/2" chip on the edge of the rim on the back side of the pot. Lower back has a 2" x 3" shallow depression (not visible in photo) which was made during manufacture. There are some small chips on the lug handles. There is normal wear on the base and very small chips on the inside of the rim consistent with many years of use. Overall condition is very good. Inside of pot also looks good.

Provenance: Collected in NE Georgia in summer of 1973 by a young Texan who sold it to the present owner in the 1980s. The winning bidder will receive the names of the two previous owners.
