Stunning 4gal Edgefield Landrum Jug 1840's
Description
Stunning Four Gallon Edgefield Landrum Jug Circa 1840’s Slave Made. This is one of the largest single handle vessel we have the privilege to offer. The glaze is simply Stunning. Slave made piece with fine tooled rim collar treatment and strong Landrum bulbus form. The jug is a large and heavy four gallons in size capacity. The jug has a rich heavy glaze of earthy brown body with a stellar heavy lime glaze over runs that encase the entire jug. Highly important jug with fantastic eye appeal and character. Condition is outstanding with a handle restoration and one can see why due the weight of this jug. This is one that should have had two handles instead of one. The restoration was done very nice and sits very well on a shelf among other pieces of stoneware. Other than that, no chips, cracks or other repairs. Standing 15" Tall
Condition: Condition is outstanding with a handle restoration, no other issue or repairs.
