Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this wonderful 4 Gallon Stoneware Jar.
 
The decoration is similar to that of Daniel Shenfelder who made pottery in Reading, Pennsylvania from approximately 1860-1900 (Phil Shaltenbrand, Big Ware Turners, pp. 24-26), but it is more likely to be that of Donaghho and Beale of Fredericktown, Pennsylvania who made pottery from 1860 to 1867 (Shaltenbrand, p. 172). There is some connection between Shenfelder and Donaghho and Beale as the decoration indicates-- perhaps shared decorators. 
 
This beauty features Brushed Cobalt Vine with Three Blossoms Undulating Across the Front. Additional cobalt at the handle terminals. Stands 15" tall.
 
Very Good Condition. Two small chips inside the rim (1/4", 1/2"), chippage under both handles, and a faint 2" vertical line on the bottom of the left side that wraps under 4" (closeup). No outer rim chips, cracks, stains, or restoration.
