Antique Stoneware Pitcher, Orange Tan Brown Salt Glaze, 4 Quart, Circa 1885
ANTIQUE FOUR QUART STONEWARE PITCHER. This circa 1885-95 variable color orange, brown and tan salt glaze stoneware pitcher holds four quarts to the top of the shoulder. It has a similar, but lighter glaze on the interior. It measures 11 tall with a diameter of 5-5/8” on the bottom and weighs 6 pounds. It has three incised line decorations… One at the top and bottom of the broad shoulder and another 1/2 below the top rim. The rounded top rim extends enough to provide a cloth tie-off. The 1-3/8 wide handle has a ribbed decoration. The pitcher is in good condition with a crack left of the pour spout running from the rim to the bottom of the shoulder and two shallow chips or flakes on the side. The crack does leak.
