Jar

Paul Cushman American

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 704

This jar is one of the finest examples of the work of Paul Cushman, one of Albany's earliest potters. Typically, such utilitarian storage vessels were completely unadorned. This example, however, features exuberant incised decoration, a bird and a fish, each highlighted with cobalt blue.

Jar, Paul Cushman (1767–1833), Stoneware, American
