Lot 15:
Fine 5 Gallon Cleburne Co. Alabama Lug Handle Jar
Description
Fine & Early 1850-60 Five Gallon Cleburne County Alabama Lug Handle Food Jar, in a rich dark earthy brown alkaline glaze with WAVY line decoration and multiple rows of concentric lines decoration starting at the lug handle attachments and going just below. Also a scratch fancy 5 in the top of the concentric lane decoration. Overall, this example has exceptional eye appeal and form and more likely being a very early example also note the heavy falling of rutile on one of the lug handle edges. Folks, this example is fantastic and it’s sure to make a fine addition to your collection. In my opinion this is a very highly desirable example, and this is the only example I have seen like this. Provenance: Years ago, this example was in the Countryman & Forbes collection and was traded for many years ago, now (present day) from a private central Alabama collection. Condition: A few minor glazed flakes and very insignificant small chips around the rim and the edges of the lug handle. No cracks and one small BB hole that was filled in see pictures, note it is left uncolored and not distracting at all. No other condition issues and repairs are present. Standing: 17 1/4" Tall
