Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this Gorgeous 3 Gallon Jug made and stamped by "A. K. Ballard, Burlington, VT."

This beauty sports the Pottery Stamp with Cobalt Wash, and a Brushed Cobalt Cluster of 19 Grapes on a Stem with 5 Leaves.  A medium gray glaze with bright cobalt makes an extraordinary contrast.  Stands 16 1/4" tall.  
 
Excellent Condition.  A 1/4" chip on the bottom edge.  That's it!  No spout chips, hairlines, cracks, stains, or restoration.  A kiln touch on the right side and back in the making.
