Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this rare Wax Sealer Canning Jar made for "H. L. Van Matre & Co., Dry Goods and Groceries, Queen's and Stoneware.  Ravenswood, W. WV."  
 
It was commissioned from a pottery in SW Pennsylvania at either Greensboro or New Geneva.
 
Circa 1880, this beauty features the Tooled Grooved Wax Sealer Rim, and Elaborate Six Lines of Advertising Below a Garland of Tulips.  The stenciling is crisp, strong, and contrasts well with the warm gray glaze.  Stands 8 1/2" tall.
 
Excellent Condition.  Three small continguous chips inside the inner rim (1/8" to 3/16") and a 1/2" chip on top of the outer rim.  That's it!  No base chips, hairlines, cracks, stains, or restoration.
