Item 9879
 
Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this wonderful 5 Gallon Stoneware Churn made and stamped by "E. & L. P. Norton & Co., Bennington, VT ."
 
This is the mark of Edward Norton and Luman Preston Norton, the son of Julius Norton, who worked together in the family pottery from 1861-1881 (William Ketchum, Jr., American Stoneware, pp. 43-44).
 
This beauty features a Larger Size, the Pottery Stamp with Cobalt Wash, and--the Main Attraction--a Large Exuberant Floral Bouquet in Brilliant Cobalt that Fills the Front!  Two roses beam in the center surrounded by leaves from which dotted tendrils launch in all directions.  Even has a little bow at the bottom tying the bouquet together. Stands 17 1/2" tall.  Comes with a churn guide just slightly too large that does not quite sit on the rim inside, but looks great. 
 
Excellent Condition.  A small stain under the left handle. That's it!  No chips, hairlines, cracks, or restoration.  Exceptionally clean.  The lid has a 1" chip inside the top rim.
