Item 4991
 
Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this wonderful Stoneware Canteen made for "F. &  S. Wines."
 
F. & S. Wines had this made by the Whites Pottery of Utica, N.Y. between 1890 and 1907 when Whites made molded pottery.  
 
This beauty features a Shield Hosting the Company Monogram with "Wines" below, and Leaves around the Handle Holders.  All the decoration is executed with dark cobalt. Stands 10 3/4" tall. 
 
You can see similar examples in Christopher Bensch, The Blue and the Gray: Oneida County Stoneware, p. 26.
 
Very Good Condition.  A flat 3/8" flake on the face of the right handle holder, a faint glaze-craze Y on the back, and chipping to the bottom of two feet.  No hairlines, cracks, stains, or restoration.  Leans slightly forward in the making.
