Good-Very Good overall antique cond: Only a sm chip on the pouring spout & V-shaped, descending lines emanate from an old bruise at the top of the jug, no doubt from a prev 'knock,' long ago. The jug's still structurally sound & this old 'knock' & resulting slight cer loss & sm V-shaped crack, only descend about 1" or 1 1/2" from the sm bit of ceramic loss at the top. This early ovoid-shaped stoneware jug is otherwise in fairly well-pres overall antique cond for an early stoneware jug from between 1835-1855, preceding the US Civil War & now about 145-165 yrs old. The ovoid form is an early New England stoneware form & is classic & points to it being an earlier, pre-US Civil War piece. What's most notable about it is not its lack of a stamped maker's mark on its upper sidewall but the cobalt blue slip, hand painted dec at the top & bottom of the slab-constructed handle. There's also some crazing along the bottom baseplate. The jug was wheel-thrown & shows the finger marks of the potter.Show less
