As long as we are talking about stoneware...looking at the sale results of an auction last weekend, and found this interesting. Gosh, 230K just doesn't go as far as it used to!

Thanks for all your help.

It is an old Molasses Jug-- which explains the spout.

Saw almost identical jugs in Canada but those were imprinted with the store name,, that's why it is good to know what a persons location is !!  If it held molasses,, which was a staple in most households,, then Rauville and Frogpatch had this jug pegged !! It would have been carried back and refilled when it ran out !!

Myracles, aka Dr. T. R. Morris, can you please clarify if there is any indention/symbols on the bottom.  My eyes are most likely deceiving me...but it appears on the top left quarter there may be an impression and on the bottom right side something as well?!?!?

Also, please clarify if this is in fact brown or an ashen black/brown. 

Somewhere locked inside the vaults of my mind...we have had a jug come across here that the finish was done with ash.  This kindof feels like that and I CAN"T FIND IT!!!!  Argh......

No more inscriptions on the jug than the small "A." It is a dark brown almost black finish

Okay forum folk....I seem to remember about some jugs that were put into the ashes to finish them which ended up producing a black/brown jug. Anyone have memory that can be "jogged"...mine is on a slow walk here lately!!!!

Are you referring to the "Microbe Killer" jugs?
