Canadian. 1860-1883. While unmarked, the glaze of this flask clearly indicates it was made by Jacob Henry Ahrens of Paris, Ontario. This rosy coloured glaze with heavy veining is one of Ahrens' most iconic and attractive. The flask form is extremely rare in early Ontario pottery, especially so in earthenware.
