Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this wonderful 1 Gallon Jug stamped "Corlears Hook".  
 
This is the work of Thomas Commeraw of Corlears Hook.  He was the first African-American Pottery Owner and worked In New York City from 1797 to 1819.  See the brilliant book by A. Brandt Zipp, Commeraw's Stoneware: The Life and Work of the First African-American Pottery Owner. 
 
This beauty features an Ovoid Form, Reeded Spout, Two Incised "Clam Shells" with Cobalt Fill, and the Pottery Stamp "Corlears Hook."  Stands 12" tall.
 
Good Condition. A 3/8"  chip on the bottom edge, and a circular line around the left side that I do not see inside. Is wider at the top than the bottom  (closeup).  No spout chips, stains, or restoration.  A film of molasses inside at the bottom.
