Item 1131
 
Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this wonderful Blue and White Spongeware Syrup Jug.
 
This little guy is the work of F. H. Weeks who ran his pottery in Akron, Ohio in partnership with his brother in the 1870's (F. Robert Treichler, A History of Northeast Ohio Stoneware, pp. 51-52).
 
This beauty features Fancy Swirl Paneled Sides and Gorgeous Blue, White and Gold Sponging in Alternating Vertical Rows.  Stands only 5 3/4" tall.
 
I have never seen a multi-colored syrup jug by this maker.
 
Very Good Condition.  Three minor pinhead-size nibbles and a 1/2" chip on outside of the rim.  No inner rim or base chips, hairlines, cracks, stains, or restoration.
