Description

Monumental Crawford County Signed "WB" Washington Becham (1835-1918) Two Gallon Jug. This jug has absolutely one of the finest glazes that I have ever seen on a sign WB example. This example was dug many years ago out of a Privy in middle Georgia on private land. This example bears the classic cannonball form, from the 1850-1860’s time period. Strong WB stamp on the handle and is in collector grade condition especially with this one being dug from a Privy. This example would make the cut for you to upgrade on a WB jug. Provenance: from a private 40 plus year collection. Standing: 9 ???" Tall

Condition: A Cagle top shelf example. Perfect for any southern pottery collector or institution. Condition: a few insignificant rim edge flea bites, no cracks and no repairs are present.
