Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this Monumental 6 Gallon Stoneware Preserve Jar made for "L. G. Paul & Co., 440 Blackstone St., Boston."
 
Paul was a grocer and the decoration indicates that he had this jar made by the Ottman Brothers of Fort Edward, N.Y.  
 
This is a 6 gallon preserve jar.  You rarely see a preserve jar over 3 gallons from the Northeast.

Excellent Condition.  Two chips on the seating ring (1/4", 3/4"), a narrow 1/2" chip inside the rim, a 1/2" chip at the base, and some faint staining from use.  That's it!  No outer rim chips, hairlines, cracks, or restoration.
