USA Vintage BLUE & YELLOW Spongeware Stoneware ICED TEA Cooler Dispenser w Lid
All we can say is WOW! What a great vintage iced tea cooler signed USA on bottom. Highly embossed with intricate raised pattern all around, and even on the lid, this spongeware dispenser is blue on yellow (not white), though I hesitate to call it yellowware per se. I don’t know exactly how old it is, but it has gentle, tiny even crazing all over; it’s BEAUTIFUL and about as near mint as you can ask for. The photo with the dime is the stoneware bottom, which is signed (etch/stamp under glaze) “USA”. It stands about 14 inches with the lid on. Lid and rim are just great. Weighs a whopping 13.5 pounds! I believe this is 2 gallons perhaps. I didn’t fill with water even though rubber gasket looks great; certainly one of those things that was just never used. Please see all photos for great detail and feel free to ask questions! This item is in the category “Antiques\Primitives”. The seller is “indiantrail1″ and is located in this country: US. This item can be shipped to United States.
