Fine Five-Gallon Stoneware Churn with Large Cobalt Bird Decoration, Stamped "N. WHITE & CO. BINGHAMTON," New York State origin, circa 1866-1868, ovoid-bodied churn with tooled shoulder, semi-squared rim, and applied lug handles, decorated with a large and folky slip-trailed design of a long-necked bird with spotted body, perched on a morning glory vine. Excellent decoration. Visually-appealing form, more bulbous than most New York State churns. Excellent condition with some short surface lines in rim, which are not visible on interior and likely occurred in the firing.
