Bidspirit auction | JOSEPH RAMBO, OHIO STONEWARE JUG

JOSEPH RAMBO, OHIO STONEWARE JUG - Muskingum County, 1850-1880. 3-gallon jug with impressed mark, 16” high. Joseph Rambo (1823-1881) was the son of George Rambo Jr. (1801-1879) and nephew of Henry Rambo (1804-1867), who were the first two Rambos to engage in the pottery business. Joseph appears to be one of the more prolific producers of the family. In the 12 months leading up to the 1850 census, his shop fired its kiln 25 times and produced 50,000 gallons of stoneware. Most of the marked Rambo stoneware that survives was likely made by Joseph. See Carskadden and Gartley, James L. Murphy's Checklist of 19th-Century Bluebird Potters and Potteries in Muskingum County, Ohio, pp. 324-328. Provenance: a Pennsyvlania collection.
