MUSEUM Quality GOODWIN & WEBSTER c.1810- 20 Amphora Jug Handled Ovoid 3 Gallon Antique Hand-Painted Folk Art Materials: antique stoneware, usa potters, horace goodwin, mack webster, abraham lincoln, 19th century, folk art, antique jug · Width: 36 inches · Height: 17 inches · Description FABULOUS “GOODWIN & WEBSTER” [Horace Goodwin & Mack C. Webster] c. 1808-20 THREE GALLON ANTIQUE HAND-PAINTED FOLK ART AMPHORA “HANDLED FORM” STONEWARE JUG; 17″High 36″ circumference. A solid piece of Americana. Tall ovoid body with flat band collar, applied strap handle. The beautiful jug is also graced with a lovely antique 19TH Century hand painted grape and vine folk art design around the perimeter of the jug which is not original to the firing of the piece at the time of manufacture. In our years of collecting, we have not seen another example of this form from Hartford in this wonderful condition. It almost resembles a large Greek amphora with a handle. Peter Cross and co-partner Samuel W. Smith (the firm of “Cross & Smith”) purchased an earthenware shop circa 1805 from John Souter, an Englishman, who made his appearance in Hartford on the northeast corner of Potter and Front Street sometime in the 1790s. In 1805 Souter sold out to Peter Cross a stoneware manufacturer whose co-partner was Samuel Smith. The firm of “Cross & Smith” later parted ways in 1806 dissolving their partnership on or about March 17, 1806. Thereafter, Peter Cross sold his earthenware business location on the northeast corner of Potter and Front Streets on or about November 17, 1808 to Horace Goodwin and Mack C. Webster [“GOODWIN & WEBSTER”] and Peter Cross opened another location nearby at 38 Front Street which he worked for about ten years and then sold that location in 1818 to George Benton and Levi Stewart (two retired sea captains). Benton and Stewart upon taking over the Cross pottery location hired a potter named Daniel Goodale Jr. to work for them. About four years later, Benton/Stewart sold the business to Goodale, Jr. circa 1822. [Goodale continued the business for about eight years until about 1830]; and then finally sold his pottery location to the GOODWIN & WEBSTER firm as well. We offer today a wonderful, attractive and most unique form of pottery made by these important Hartford, Connecticut potters Horace Goodwin and Mack C. Webster, Hartford, Connecticut. The men who purchased the Peter Cross Company in November of 1808. It is believed that this vessel may be one of Peter Cross’s early designs. This beautiful heirloom is embellished with a beautiful antique hand painting in pristine condition of a grape and grapevine depiction. This beautiful handled jug c. 1808-20 is very rare to have survived this long withstanding the ‘test of time’. Imagine that this jug was manufactured during the presidency of Thomas Jefferson [1801-1809] and James Madison. [1809 to 1817]. This jug was manufactured when Abraham Lincoln was experiencing his “terrible twos” (February 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865) and was around when our beloved 16th President met his untimely assassination. This jug has survived through 43 of 46 United States Presidents and is still going strong. Oh if this jug could speak…. In the 1820s, the Goodwin Websters brought down the center of gravity on their jugs into a more bulbous shape… with the later pieces having an extended corded neck and lower shoulder and waist with a thick handle higher up on the neck. This historical jug has a beautiful darkened Antique “Folk Art Painting of Grapes on a Vine” on the forefront of the jug under the incised Goodwin & Webster Hartford name” which adds to its historical lore. The maker’s stamp is high on the neck “Goodwin & Webster, Hartford”, such as that on the Peter Cross pieces who utilized the signature as “P. Cross Hartford”. This vessel has a 36” circumference at the widest point and is 17″H. This piece is circa 1809-1810; very rare; in excellent original 214-year-old condition. The striking “folk painting” embellishing the perimeter of the jug adds beauty and mystery to this piece; and will certainly make a very stunning one of a kind heirloom and conversation piece for the early 19th century stoneware jug collector. The vessel is in pristine condition in spite of surviving two centuries and fourteen years and is certainly a rare item to possess. There are two flakes which have darkened with age; a minimal one on the top on the lip rim; and one at the very bottom of the base of the jug which can be visualized in the first picture; both do not detract and blend in perfectly with the aura of the vessel. (See Pictures. Pictures are part of the description). The jug sits level to the floor and does not rock. Interesting to note, Goodwin & Webster’s predecessor, Peter Cross who usually signs his jugs ” P.Cross Hartford” had one of his vessels which looks almost identical to this one minus the painted embellishment sold at the Juger Farm Auction for over $14,950.00. Don’t let this absolutely beautiful hand made artform by Hartford, Connecticut potters Goodwin & Webster escape your grasp. More pictures are available upon request.
