Two-Tone Stoneware Shoulder Jug with Albany and Bristol Glazes - This antique stoneware shoulder jug features a cylindrical body and a domed top. The vessel is constructed with a two-tone glazed finish: the upper portion, including the neck, shoulder, and loop handle, is coated in a dark brown Albany-type slip glaze, while the main body is finished in a light gray Bristol-type glaze. The jug has a short neck with a flared rim and a single applied loop handle. The body exhibits a slightly irregular surface with characteristic firing marks and pocking common to utilitarian stoneware of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The base is flat and unglazed. A cork stopper is fitted into the mouth. No maker's marks, stamps, signatures, or capacity numbers are visible on the exterior or base of the jug.Height: 11 1/2 inchesDiameter: 7 1/4 inches.
