cheapest I believe this large stoneware jug is American, and it is unmarked and unattributed. It is medium-sized, and the body features high relief portraits of a pair of cows, and the cows appear on both sides of the jug. The cows are accented in blue glaze, and the artist also used subtle blue glaze around the bottom and towards the top of the jug, and the use of color creates a subtle frame for the portraits. The jug has a re-built spout. It was broken into several small pieces some time ago, and then pretty well repaired. Very minimal wear to the top edge, and the handle is secure and shows no problems. The inside is crisp and clean. It stands about 7 3/8" tall and from the back of the handle to the tip of the spout is about 7 3/8", and the base is about 5" in diameter. It stands evenly and without wobble. The glaze is in good condition, with some crackelure from age. It weighs almost 2 3/4 pounds. Very nice jug in fair condition. Priced to reflect condition.
