Item 13162
 
Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this super 2 Gallon Stoneware Jar made and stamped by "T. Harrington, Lyons." 
 
This jar is the work of Thompson Harrington who ran the pottery in Lyons, N.Y. from 1852 to 1872 (William Ketchum, Jr., American Stoneware, pp. 73-74).
 
This beauty sports a Strong Pottery Stamp with Cobalt Wash, Freehand 2 Capacity Number, and a Huge Floral Burst Filling the Front and Executed with Bright and Shiny Cobalt. Harrington perfected the art of stoneware decorating and the manufacture of cobalt! On a footnote, there is also cobalt on the handle terminals which you might notice once your eyes adjust to the brilliance of the front!  Stands 12" tall.
 
Very Good Condition.  Light staining from use, normal wear and three chips (1/8" to 1/2") on the inner lid-seating ring, and two 2 1/2" hairlines from the rim- in front of the right handle and on the back.  No outer rim or base chips, cracks, or restoration.
