This impressive, highly ovoid jug is stamped below the rim in bold letters

C. CROLIUS
NEW-YORK

It was made at the pottery of Clarkson Crolius, Jr. in Manhattan, New York, circa 1835 to 1849.

This is a superbly thrown stoneware jug that is squat in stature, with a tremendous bulge at the waist, heavy incising at the collar, and a deeply ribbed handle. A quality example of New York City stoneware by one of the country's most renowned potting families.
