A Nine-Gallon Alkaline-Glazed Stoneware Jar, Incised “Dave / Aug. 5 1851 / Lm,” Edgefield District, SC, 1851. A Newly-Discovered Four-Gallon Alkaline-Glazed Stoneware Jar, Incised “Harry,” Pottersville, Edgefield District, SC, circa 1825-1845. Mad e by the enslaved African-American potter, Harry, who is listed in period documents dating from 1839-1843 as working at Pottersville. Two of these documents list him as a “turner.” This exciting discovery reveals a second enslaved Edgefield potter with the ability to write was signing his ware. One of two such examples known to exist, this jar is among the most important discoveries in Southern ceramic or African-American art to come to light in years.
