Either way it is charming. The piece has some stone pops, staining a some light lines on the back. It is 9" tall with a diameter of 9 3/4".

OVOID REDWARE JAR WITH HANDLE
This redware jar has wonderful decoration! Part of the brushed manganese reminds me of a hand print.

I believe this piece is of Pennsylvania origin. The height is 6 1/4". The base diameter is just over 3 1/2".

STONEWARE JUG BY THOMAS COMMERAWS
A beautiful ovoid jug by Thomas (Commereau) Commeraws of New York. Thomas Commeraw worked In Manhattan 1797 - 1819. This appears to be a piece dating to the early 1800's In fact I would date it c. 1800 because of the ring turning at the neck. The location is given as N. York rather than Corlears Hook so this particular ovoid jug dates after 1802. The jug has a beautiful form and it is in excellent condition as well. there are no cracks or repairs. There are a couple of miniscule chips on the bottom. There are a few stone pops which occurred in the making. The signature clamshell and bell flower decoration is crisp and fairly well centered.
