Compelling pairing of 19th-century American utilitarian stoneware highlights two foundational traditions of early regional ceramic craft, featuring a classic salt-glazed jug produced by renowned potter Jacob Fisher in Lyons, New York, between 1872 and 1902, alongside a substantial Albany slip crock. The jug boasts a graceful, curving form, a sturdy hand-applied handle, and the beautifully mottled, textured salt glaze characteristic of Lyons pottery, while the crock is defined by its flared lip, slightly curving form, and a rich, deep chocolate-brown Albany slip glaze. The crock measures approximately 14 1/2 in. H x 7 1/4 in. in diameter. Reflecting their extensive historical use as hardworking household vessels, both pieces exhibit an honest, time-worn patina; the crock includes a prior repair, a missing handle (leaving one remaining of what was once a loop-handle configuration), abrasions, and chips, while the J. Fisher jug displays typical chips, abrasions, and surface wear consistent with its age.
