Item 8189
 
Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this Monumental 5 Gallon Churn made and stamped by "R. & B. Diebboll, Washington, MI." 
 
This is the work Robert Diebboll and his son, Bruce, who founded the Pines End Pottery in 1966 and made pottery until his passing in 2011. The stoneware was made with classic forms and decorations and carried on the American tradition of salt-glaze pottery with stunning success. His work is highly sought after for its artistry and quality.
 
This beauty features an Exceptionally Large Size, Tooled Rim and Shoulder, Applied Handles, Pottery Stamp with Cobalt Wash, and a Folk Art Rooster on Ground Cover.  The decoration is reminiscent of this design from the Burger Pottery in Rochester, New York.   Comes with a Diebboll lid with the impressed initials and little bird.  Stands 19 1/2" tall. 
 
Exceptional Condition.  As made.  No damage of any kind. 
 
Burger pieces with this decoration sell for over $20,000  This one is a lot less!
