STUNNING RARE DAIRY PAIL FROM THE 1800'S 
WHITE IRONSTONE, WITH NICELY DONE APPLIED HANDLES.
THE BODY HAS MOLDED BANDS / RIBBING, SIMILAR TO BARREL STAVES.
THESE MILK PAILS WERE USED COMMERCIALLY IN DAIRIES AND GROCERY STORES
TO HOLD THE MILK THAT WAS SEPARATED FROM THE CREAM.
VERY FEW MILK PAILS WERE PRODUCED, AND EVEN FEWER EXIST TODAY.
THEY RARILY SURFACE IN THIS GOOD CONDITION AND THIS IS ONE OF THEM.

THIS PAIL STANDS 11 3/4" TALL, 15 3/4" RIM DIAMETER, AND 8 1/2" BASE.
IT STILL HAS ITS ORIGINAL HINGED COPPER LID WITH ORIGINAL PATINA.
THE BLUE "PURE MILK" TRANSFER HAS A FINGER SMEAR ON THE BORDER
RIGHT NEXT TO THE "P",    I GUESS IT HAPPENED WHEN APPLYING.

THERE IS A SMALL 1/2" CRACK IN THE GLAZE UP NEAR THE TOP RIM  SEE PICS   !!!!
SOME CRAZING DOES EXIST DUE TO AGE.

:WILL BE DOUBLE BOXED AND INSURED:
