Rare Antique Cobalt Blue Bird Decorated Stoneware Jug Norton Vt. 5 Gal. Vintage

  

OFFERED HERE IS A RARE COBALT BLUE BIRD DECORATED SALT GLAZED STONEWARE JUG BY. Norton Stoneware Jug with Cobalt Bird, J. 5 GALLON SIZE MEASURES 17 3/4" TALL 11" ACROSS WITH A CORK HOLE 1 1/4 DIAMETER. AND THE BIRD ITSELF IS 7 TALL. THE PIECE IS ONLY MARKED WITH THE 5 GALLON MARK AND THE COBALT BLUE BIRD HAS A SLIGHTLY FANCY STYLE HANDLE AND THE CORK HOLE AREA HAS FAIRLY STRAIGHT SIDES.

HAS NO CRACKS OR CHIPS TO MAIN BODY OF JUG BUT IT APPEARS TO HAVE A CHIP MISSING IN THE CENTER OF THE BIRD ITSELF. MY GUESS IS THAT SOMEBODY SHOT IT WITH A BB GUN BUT, IT EXISTS. THIS IS A PRIZE PIECE TO A MUSEUM OR A HIGH END COLLECTOR.

THE CHIP COULD EASILY BE FILLED IN WITH BLUE BUT, I THINK IT ADDS TO THE BEAUTY AND CHARACTER OF THE JUG, PLEASE LOOK AT PICTURES AS PART OF THE DESCRIPTION. The item "RARE ANTIQUE COBALT BLUE BIRD DECORATED STONEWARE JUG NORTON VT.
