This 19 th c antique redware wax sealer canning jar was used for preserving fruits and vegetables of all sorts. The jar is marked on both sides with large 1âe inch letters âeoe ATHENAEUM âe, which was a literary or scientific association for the promotion of learning and place w reading materials, books and magazines w available. This jar was purchased from a man who found it in Tennessee , so I think it was originally potted in Tennessee for the Athenaeum Rectory a historic building in Columbia , Tennessee in Maury County . It has all the attributes of a southern potter. Along side the local pottery collectors and history detectives; I am sure you could narrow down the potter or at least the area in which it was potted. Historic significants: The structure, later to be known as the Athenaeum Rectory, was originally intended to be the residence of Samuel Polk Walker, nephew of President James K. Polk. Construction commenced in 1835. and completed in 1837. The intended resident had been changed to the Reverend Franklin Gillette Smith who came to Tennessee to serve as the president of The Columbia Female Institute, an elegant finishing school for girls. The Athenaeum Rectory also has some a rchitectural significance featuring elements from a variety of architectural styles: Gothic, Moorish, Greek Revival, Italianate, and others. The structure was designed by Adolphus Heiman, an architect of the early 1800s who designed many buildings in the Middle Tennessee area. Nathan Vaught, a master builder from Maury County, was responsible for construction of the building. The jar has some chipping around the rim and some glaze wear typical for its age (see photos)... This may be of great interest to the local Historical Society or State or local museums in the area This would be a great addition to your collection!!!...You just donâe(tm)t find thinks with this types of advertisement or labelingâe¦,.thanks for looking...
