Item 9588
 
Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this wonderful 2 Gallon Preserve Jar made by and stamped "M. Woodruff, Cortland."
 
This is the work of Madison Woodruff who ran the pottery in Cortland, New York from 1849-1885 (William Ketchum, Jr., American Stoneware, p. 71).
 
This beauty sports a Tooled Rim and Shoulder that Allows for a Lid, the Pottery Stamp with Cobalt Wash, and a Brushed Cobalt Tulip.  The decoration has ground cover, four leaves, and a blossom with twelve petals.  It fills the front very nicely.  Strong cobalt too!  Stands 10 3/4" tall. 
 
Fair Condition.  A faint 5" hairline below the left handle to near the base.  A glued crack from the rim on the right side that wraps under across the base and to the right near the base halfway across the back.  Otherwise mint!  😁  
 
Good for decorating.  The design is not affected.
