An irrefutable masterpiece and an anthem to southern vernacular pottery", are the words Mark Hewitt used to describe the incredible Isaac Lefevers jar in last year's exhibition at the North Carolina Museum of Art. Pictured beginning on page 153 of the exhibition book, "The Potters Eye, Art and Tradition in North Carolina Pottery", the Lefevers' jar exhibits the same glaze anomallies as this piece by James Franklin Seagle. James Franklin Seagle (1829-1892) was the son of Daniel Seagle, grew up and turned with Isaac Lefevers during the time he lived with the Seagle family and worked as a bound apprentice. This jar has a strong "JFS 3" stamp that is nicely centered on the shoulder between the two handles. The form is more ovoid and close mouthed than many of his handled jar forms with the handles being bold and distinctive. Unique about this piece is the incised "foot" or banded line at the base, which is not often seen on North Carolina utilitarian wares. Another nice touch is the lightly incised line w the neck flares upward from the body. The incredible glaze just cannot be described so I have included as many photos as possible. T are two missing areas on the rim my pictures clearly show, but the piece is otherwise in excellent condition having no hairlines, cracks, or repairs. It stands 13" tall and is 10" in diameter at it's widest point. For the collector that has other James Franklin Seagle pieces this would be an excellent atypical example, for those that do not own one, this would be an excellent single piece of Seagle to own. Please email with any questions and thanks for looking.
