Up for auction is a very nice Old Barton Pure Rye stoneware advertising jug. These are very difficult to find. The jug itself is in great shape with a very small hole from the firing of the jug. This hole does not go all the way through the jug and is probably just an iron ping (please see photos). The Old Barton blue stamp is smudged a bit, presumably from being applied (please see photos). But is otherwise very clear and crisp. There are no other chips or cracks. Does have crazing throughout the glaze from age.
Jug stands approx. 13” tall and is 9” across the bottom. I believe this is a 2 gallon capacity.
You will be hard pressed to find another one in this condition.
Thank you for looking and happy bidding!
