This is a 19th to very early 20th CENTURY OVOID SALT GLAZE STONEWARE JUG with COBALT MOTIF. VERY LARGE VINTAGE STONEWARE JUG. VERY UNUSUAL TO HAVE THE ORIGINAL CORK (wood stopper) The JUG is called a “BEEHIVE” style and the motif on the front of the jug is supposed to be a bee. It is Pennsylvania-New York Stoneware, 1850-1880, but it could be from several makers. the piece is hand painted. Stoneware like that is fired to a VERY high temperature (about 2300 degrees F) and about 1720, American potters began producing a form of stoneware developed in many Europe centuries earlier--stoneware glazed with salt and decorated with cobalt blue with a Beautiful Symbol painted in Blue. Salt glazed stoneware like this was very common in the 19th -Century America and potters produced it all over the country, sometimes stamping it with their maker’s marks-- but most of the time, they did not put on an actual name-like this one. It weighs over 20 pounds and is 18 inches tall, 11 inch base and a 1 ½ inch opening. It is in excellent condition. Posted with eBay Mobile
