| RARE OHIO STONEWARE CHURN, SUMMIT COUNTY, OHIO, 1865-1880. Six-gallon of typical form, decorated in cobalt with an elaborate bird on a branch, holding in its beak a banner reading "Akron, Ohio' and under the name "D.S. Alexander.' Imperfections. 18'h. Sold at Blair Auctions (Ohio), May 1997, sold at Waasdorp (New York), September 2004, lot 209. D.S. Alexander likely refers to David Alexander, a farm implements dealer and the older brother of noted businessman , J. Park Alexander (1834-1908). The younger Alexander engaged in a variety of successful business ventures, however is perhaps best known for the development of a stoneware distribution network. He worked with a number of local potters and maintained warehouses in Akron, Detroit, and Chicago. The present churn is illustrated in Treichler, A History of Northeast Ohio Stoneware p. 55, along with a monumental jug retailed from Alexander's Detroit warehouse. That jug is also discussed and illustrated in Equal in Goodness: Ohio Decorative Arts 1788-1860, entry 104. Another Alexander piece (an 1876 Centennial jug) was appraised by Alan Katz on the Antiques Roadshow in St. Paul, Minnesota, in June 2004. A candidate for the maker of this churn is William McBurney, a potter who came to the Akron area in the early 1860s. Another churn, signed by McBurney and with a similar bird to the present churn, is illustrated in Treichler, p. 57. Sold at Garth's Auction May 18, 2012.

| PIE SAFE, AMERICAN, 1840-1880, pine and poplar. Two drawers over two doors resting on high tapered legs. Eight tins with pinwheel decoration. Retains old, worn brown paint. 48.5"h. 45.5"w. 17.5"d. Sold at Garth's Auction May 18, 2012. Estimated: $500 - $1,000 Price Realized: $1,567 | |
| WILLIAM AND MARY HIGH CHEST OF DRAWERS, NEW ENGLAND, 18TH CENTURY, maple and pine. Two-piece, the upper section with a concealed drawer over three over three drawers; the lower section with three drawers and a shaped skirt, all resting on cabriole legs. Imperfections. 65.5"h. 36"w. 21"d. The legs appear to be replaced, parts of the cornice are replaced, brasses replaced, the finish is significantly worn. Though NOT a marriage, the upper and lower cases did live apart for a while. It appears that the upper section was used as a chest of drawers, and the lower section may have been stored in a barn or garage--when the pieces were put back together, along with the legs, the mid-molding on teh base and the top board of the lower section were all replaced, and some piecing was required on the case and drawers to bring everything up to a level height. NOTE: after further examination, the legs may be original, just of unusual form from Windsor, Connecticut, ca. 1750. See Kugelman, Connecticut Valley Furniture, entry 5 for another example likely from the same shop. Sold at Garth's Auction May 18, 2012. Estimated: $800 - $1,200 Price Realized: $2,703 | |
