Small snuff crock impressed A. Dollison (Armstrong Dollison, Vinton County Ohio) and a 3-gallon churn impressed "N.B. Pears Middlebury Ohio". I don't know of a potter by that name so possible that is the merchant for whom the crock was made. Note the letter "s" is backwards and was added as an afterthought. Churn, 14 3/4"H Small chip on base, a lot of dirt and grease buildup around the opening. Pears churn with chips around the top rim, freeze lines throughout, and heavy wear to glaze on left ear.
