The jar is certainly of the quality of those by Mary Histia. It sits straight, is thin-walled and was decorated with precision. Designs within medallions are documented to Mary Histia. There is a Mary Histia jar documented in Dillingham that features the same stepped elements as shown in orange in this jar. In the Dillingham illustration, the four stepped elements are centered with a flower and in this jar they are centered with a propeller-like element.
