DESCRIPTION: We are offering a very quaint primitive Americana 100 year old +/- stoneware preserve jar with advertsing from Boston, Mass.. This stoneware jar is fully signed on the front and weighs just under 3 lbs.. A great display size with unlimited decorating possibilities, stands 6 3/8" tall with handle down, circumference 'around the center' is 19", base diameter is 5 7/8". Early primitive stoneware characteristics are noted throughout the jar with spin marks and salt glaze drips. Jar was created with 2 applied stoneware lifting handles. The stoneware on the left handle exhibits the salt glaze not covering the crevice w the handle was attached to the jar, this is not a crack, this was created at the factory. Jar retains it's original OLD wood & wire bail handle that clearly exhibits an oxidized and aged patina on the metal . The lid is 3 7/8" in diameter and is a darker 'salt glaze' than the jar. The lid fits perfectly and 'appears to be' the proper lid for this jar, however we are not certain if the lid was replaced at some point in time, mentioned for 100% accuracy only, please view the photos. T is a small 5/8" chip on the lids top edge, nothing that detracts, mentioned for 100% accuracy. This is a superb Americana primitive stoneware advertising jar with great aesthetic old country mercantile appeal. T are no cracks or hairlines in the jar. T is a very modest reserve on this jar which simply covers our investment and does not imply a value. Please view the photos we provided. Please ask all questions *PRIOR* to bidding.
