ITEM JNH17. Although the jar
itself is wonderfully formed, it is perhaps the very early (Depression-era)
McKearin tag that makes this offering most interesting. The 9"H
piece exhibits an oatmeal-like coloring with distinct pink and
green highlights that although perhaps not "sexy,"
is very comforting to the eye. The elongated form is most unusual
and presumably rather early. Definitely of New England manufacture,
the jar is most likely Maine in origin. There is the expected
wear upon the base but remarkably NO DAMAGE to this fine, earthy
piece with impeccable provenance.
