It is unclear if this late nineteenth century red earthenware vase sold or not, but it was listed on eBay earlier this week; it was just discovered in an estate in the Shenandoah Valley in Verona, Virginia. I do not have a picture of it, but the vase was supposedly stamped "J. EBERLY & CO. / STRASBURG VA," a mark used during the circa 1892-1903 period.
The Eberly Pottery was established in 1880 by Jacob Jeremiah Eberly (1830-1908), when he purchased a pottery company from the Keister family - and he was later joined by his brother, Joseph Eberly and son, Daniel Letcher Eberly (1859-1919), producing stoneware and fancyware under the company names of J. Eberly & Bro., Strasburg, VA; J. Eberly & Co., Strasburg, VA; and Eberly & Son, Strasburg, VA.
This large vase is decorated in a striking polychrome glaze featuring lead, copper and manganese over a slip wash. Similar examples have done very well at auction in the last ten years.
