November 04, 2006 Stoneware Auction
Lot #: 3Price Realized: $6,050.00 (Price includes 10% buyer's premium).
Two-Gallon Stoneware Jug with Elaborate Bird Decoration, Stamped "W.H.

A slip-trailed "2" to the right of the bird indicates the capacity. The use of a slip cup and brush on different areas of the design adds to the folky quality of the decoration. Excellent color.
