Antique Stoneware: Norton Bird Jug w/ Cobalt Pheasant, XRare 1.5G, Bennington VT:
$2200.00

An exceptional Stoneware Jug, Bennington, Vermont, mid-1800's. Julius and his cousin, Edward, used the J&E Norton mark from 1850-1859; the stamp and capacity mark on the shoulder are washed with cobalt. Front features an impressive Thin-Tailed Pheasant perched on a Stump and looking back over its shoulder to the left. Artistically executed in glassy, extra bold Slip-Trailed Cobalt; there is no fry on this decoration. Of greater importance is the 1.5 Gallon capacity with this particular design. It is documented in "The Birds of Bennington" (B.Leder/F.Cesana, 1991, pg.69) as "Rare" with only 4-9 known pheasant examples of this size; I have only seen one.Condition: Some light discoloration right side, lower; otherwise in remarkable, as-made condition with no cracks, repaired damage or restoration work. A small clay separation on the upper handle terminal, and two stone pings on the rear side are for descriptive accuracy. Highly-appropriate for advanced collector of American Stoneware. See photos for complete details and close-ups. Please consider them as part of the description. Measures approximately 8"W x 12"H overall; 6.6 lbs. Offered without reserve to give all interested a complete fair chance of winning. Ships fully insured to the highest buyer, anywhere in the lower 48. Domestic (US) buyers with Paypal only, please. No International shipping, no exceptions. Payment is expected within 3 days. Good Luck, thanks for looking, and be sure to bookmark my sales, listed and ending daily.
