Guest Book
An excellent pair of Pratt ware ceramic meat paste jars circa 1860. These lovely jars have a blue - almost jasperware like - color, and decorated with transferware prints depicting a boar hunting scene. The jars have sloping shoulders with thick necks and flanged rims. The undersides have deeply concave bottoms. They are very solidly constructed with considerable heft for their sizes. Their tactile sensations are are silky smooth.

Height is 4 1/4". No damage. There is a slight manufacturer's defect in which the rim of the transfer sheet was inadvertently applied to the bodies.
