Lot 131: A Group of Four Two-Tone Salt-Glazed Stoneware Vessels

This lot comprises four pieces of salt-glazed stoneware pottery, each featuring a traditional two-tone ferruginous slip and buff-bodied finish. The collection includes a globular handled jug with a tapered neck and pinched pouring spout; a cylindrical shoulder jar with a narrow neck; a cylindrical storage jar with a sloped shoulder; and a straight-sided open crock with a thickened rim. The shoulder jar is decorated with a black printed graphic of a man in a hat smoking a pipe and holding a mug, accompanied by the printed text CREEDY VINTAGE CIDER above the illustration and GREETINGS FROM DEVON below. The handled jug and the storage jars feature varied depths of honey-brown to tan glazing on the upper sections. No maker’s marks, signatures, or labels are visible on the bases of the items.
