Antique J. & E. Norton Bennington VT 2 Gallon Salt-Glazed Stoneware Jug, Circa 1850-1859

Antique two-gallon salt-glazed stoneware jug stamped "J. & E. NORTON, BENNINGTON, VT," dating to the partnership of Julius and Edward Norton from approximately 1850 to 1859. This classic piece of 19th-century Vermont pottery features a warm gray salt-glazed body, rounded shoulders, a narrow neck, and a striking cobalt blue slip-trailed floral decoration on the front. A wonderful example of early American stoneware with attractive natural firing variations. Small hairline cracks and a few pits are present, but the jug remains in nice antique condition overall. Please review all photographs as they are part of the description.

Dimensions: 7" W x 11" H
