Item 13228
 
Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this Rare 1/2 Gallon Stoneware Jar made and stamped by "J. W. Triplett."
 
This is the mark of John W. Triplett who worked in Washington, D.C., and then Canfield, Ohio prior to 1860. He later moved to Trumbell County, Ohio, back to Washington, D.C, and then back to Trumbell County (F. Robert Treichler, A History of Northeast Ohio Stoneware , p. 20). 
 
Treichler says that "No verifiable examples of products from these potteries are currently known" (p. 104). There is at least 1! 
 
This beauty sports a Tooled Rim with a Pronounced Groove to Facilitate Tying a Cover Over the Top and the Pottery Stamp.  Stands 8 1/2" tall.
 
Very Good Condition.  A 1/4" flake on top of the rim and a 1 1/4" chip on the side of the rim.  No base chips, hairlines, cracks, stains, or restoration.  Traces of green paint inside.
