Offered for sale is one of the jugs or pitchers from my Father's collection. Collecting salt-glazed pottery was his passion and he amassed quite a collection. He was a perfectionist and if one jug looked just a little bit better than another for any reason, he would buy it. Thus we have duplicates, and in this case the jug "didn't fit the style of his collection." This is a beautiful old jug made in the 1900's to 1930's era. The mold is very crisp and clean. The cobalt blue is striking. One side of the jug features a man playing a dulcimer or autoharp (?) with two women and a dog watching. In the background you can see the details of hung pots and pans, and a fire as well as the planks of the flooring and side of the building. The other side features a man leaning on a rail fence with walking stick in hand, and talking to a woman. He is accompanied by his dog. Again there is much detail with trees in the background, grass, and even ropes tying parts of the fence together. The top, bottom, and spout of the jug is decorated also. The top of the jug has a beaded pattern around just below the rim, the spout has a fan shape, and the bottom has a diamond and flower pattern. The jug is in very good condition. There are no chips, hairlines, damage to the spout or handle, or repairs. There are two very tiny nicks in the walking stick which does not deter from the beauty of this piece. There are two areas of crazing inside the jug...at the bottom and on one side. Dad said it ...
