Item 11781
 
Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this wonderful 1 Gallon Stoneware Batter Jug whose decoration indicates that it was made by Nathan Clark, Jr. of Athens, N.Y. 
 
Nathan Clark, Jr.  ran the family pottery in Athens from 1843-1891 (William Ketchum, Jr., American Stoneware, pp. 66).
 
This beauty sports a Low and Wide Form, Tooled Rim with Inner Seating Ring for a Lid, Tooled Shoulder, and a Brushed Cobalt Floral on the Front.  The floral sports seven leaves and a blossom made of three concentric wavy circles.  Stands 8 3/4" tall.  
 
It did not come to me with a lid, but would have had one.   So I matched up one in Albany slip which fits perfectly and is the color of the inside glaze.
 
Very Good Condition.  A 1/2" chip inside the rim, and a 3/4" chip outside the rim.  No base chips, hairlines, cracks, stains, or restoration.   The lid has two chips on the top edge (1/2", 3/4").
