Item 11927
 
Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this fabulous 1 Gallon Jug made and stamped by "Sipe & Son'" Williamsport, PA." 
 
This is the mark of William Sipe and his sons who ran their pottery with this stamp from 1879-1893 (Phil Shaltenbrand, Big Ware Turners, pp. 62-63).
 
This beauty features the Pottery Stamp with Cobalt Wash and a Triple Brushed Cobalt Floral.  All three blossoms are different: a small one with four petals, a very large one with 7 large petals, and a small steeple flower with 6 dots.  A "new species" I have not seen before portrayed on a Sipe piece.  Stands 10 3/4" tall.
 
Excellent Condition.  Light scattered small stains on the back.  That's it!  No chips, hairlines, cracks, or restoration.
