Item Details

Description

It is my pleasure to offer collectors this rare opportunity to own an Extremely Rare and desirable North Carolina Salt Glaze Chester Webster incised Bird storage jar. The pinnacle of North Carolina Salt glaze pottery. made ca. 1850 in Randolph County likely with at the BY YANCEY factory. A monumental piece of salt glaze that deserves to be in a museum collection. It is offered to the public on Sept 18 2021 in person bidding, phone, absentee and online bidding. thank you. - Matt Ledbetter ----- Born in 1799, Chester Webster was one of several family members who were employed at pottery factories in the Hartford, Connecticut area. Chester Webster moved to North Carolina in 1827, likely joining his brother Edward in Fayetteville before moving to Randolph County. The 1840 census in Randolph County shows Chester Webster and brother Timothy Webster in residence there. Chester Webster did not purchase any land, and was likely working with members of the Craven family in their pottery operations. By the 1850s, Chester Webster was working with Bartlett Yancy Craven, the son of Solomon Craven. B.Y. Craven, as he was known, ran a general store, for which the account book from 1853-1869 survives in the collection of Duke University. Chester Webster appears in the account book for various credits from his work, including making pottery and being credited by the gallon of ware thrown on the wheel. In 1857, Chester made between 3 and 4 cents per gallon. Quincy Scarborough noted that in September of 1857 a note was made for WebsterÂ’s work, Â“that he had turned 1215.75 gallons, averaging 173.68 gallons on each of the seven days he worked.Â”Scarborough, Quincy and Samuel Scarborough. Â“The Webster School of Folk Potters.Â” Fayetteville, NC: privately published, 1986 and 2009.CONDITION: minor chips to rim and tight hairline. THIS JAR IS THE RAREST NORTH CAROLINA SALT GLAZE PIECE OF POTTERY YOU CAN OWN
