Rare and collectible late 1870’s one and a half gallon gray saltware / salt glaze / stoneware crock by Sipe, Nichols and Company, with a cobalt blue design that resembles a sideways flower or spiral seashell. Round body with slightly tapered base and moderately wide rim. William Sipe started his pottery company around 1863. Sipe manufactured redware and supplied the country for 100 miles, being the first person in the Lycoming County to manufacture it. Later he was a terracotta and sewer pipe dealer and made stoneware out of New Jersey clay, which was considered the best in the United States. Circa 1875 the Sipes were joined by Abram Young and Joseph Nichols and the pottery was operated as Sipe, Nichols & Co until 1877. About that time Nichols left and joined the pottery of Logan Moore and David Hobart. The Sipe Pottery continued to operate until about 1900. Sipe pottery is still collected by many. His sons Luther and Oscar were the “Sons” of Sipe and Sons. Good Overall – Chip in edge; gentle wear; some stains. 9″ x 8.5″ (Diameter x Height). The sooner you pay, the sooner you get your item.
