VERY RARE 'OLCOTT, MCKESSON & CO., DRUGGISTS, 127 MAIDEN LANE, NEW YORK (CITY) EARLY 19TH CENTURY, AMERICAN  PRIMITIVE OLIVE-GOLD, BURNT SIENNA, BURNT UMBER & PUTTY WHITE, WHEEL-THROWN, SALT-GLAZED STONEWARE  CERAMIC APOTHECARY JAR/LARGE CROCK,  featuring CONCAVE UPPER SHOULDERS & SLIGHTLY OUTWARD SPLAYED RIM, UPRIGHT SIDEWALLS & WIRE CUT BASEPLATE, with BLUE SLIP GLAZED STAMPED MAKER'S MARK [Found in southern New Hampshire] (Circa 1830-1845) Early 19th century New York City antique American primitive, handmade apothecary stoneware ceramic jars, crocks & mercantile glass bottles DIMENSIONS: 12  ½" Height x 8  ¼" Width x 5" rim Diameter    Weight: 8 lbs. 13 oz.  DESCRIPTION: Exceptionally rare. How about a pre-US Civil War, New York City decorated stoneware ceramic apothecary jar, with wheel-turned body, concave upper shoulders and softly fluted top rim, in olive-gold upper salt glaze, putty white lower body and with a cobalt blue slip decorated stamped maker's mark, embossed on the crock's front sidewall? Produced by the famous and recently infamous (due to a settled lawsuit with the state of West Virginia for the over-prescription of opioid medicinals) McKesson (Inc.) druggists, formerly Olcott,  McKesson and Co. Druggists, and then later as McKesson, Robbins Druggists, both once located in Lower Manhattan just west of the East River, NYC, situated formerly at 127 Maiden Lane, New York. I have only seen a cobalt blue slip decorated stoneware ceramic handled jug with a cobalt blue slip bird decorated front sidewall motif by McKesson, Robbins' Druggists but no other apothecary jar or crock from this early, circa 1830's McKesson mercantile NYC entity.  The stoneware ceramic apothecary jar has tremendous color and interesting early form. Only one small horizontal fissure and a small vertical fissure mar this otherwise glorious and very rare piece.  The stoneware ceramic apothecary jar has tremendous color and interesting early form. Only one horizontal fissure and a vertical fissure, both fairly small and which don't structurally compromise this now 170 to 190 year old stoneware crock, mar this otherwise well-preserved and extremely rare early 19th century New York City antique apothecary piece. Absent are any significant and noticeable edge flea-bites, missing ceramic chunks, sidewall 'bruises,' unpleasant odors, stains or structurally compromising hairline cracks and vessel fractures. Simply outstanding, even with its few aforementioned blemishes. Thrilling. You could look for one like it for an entire lifetime and possibly not find one. Recently discovered in southern New Hampshire. Absolutely fantastic. Important. Very fine. CONDITION: Good to Very Good overall antique condition.
