WHIPPLE, OHIO — Meander Auctions celebrated the season with its Fall Antiques and Art Auction, conducted on November 15, which offered 552 lots. More than half of the top 10 best-selling lots were Pennsylvania stoneware, including the highest-achieving lot, a four-gallon “People” jar made circa 1860 in either western Pennsylvania or Morgantown, W.Va. It depicted a woman standing between two small trees, indicative that it was possibly made at the potteries of David Greenland Thompson (Morgantown), John Greenland (Connellsville, Penn.) or Norval Greenland (Uniontown, Penn.) With provenance to a southeast Ohio collection and a July 2012 Crocker Farm sale, the jar sold at Meander for $11,900 with premium. Additional highlights from this sale will be featured in an upcoming issue.
