Antique 1880s Brown Albany Slip Stoneware 1-Gallon Crock Jar - Pristine Kiln Scar.
Beautiful antique American primitive stoneware utility jar, dating from the late 19th century (circa 1880–1900). This heavy-built, 1-gallon capacity piece features a rich, glossy brown Albany-type slip glaze and a classic thick, collared rim originally designed for securing a wax or cloth seal.
Condition & Features:
• Pristine Antique Condition: Absolutely NO post-production damage, cracks, chips, or hairline fractures whatsoever.
• Authentic Factory Kiln Scar: Features a fascinating, smooth, fully-glazed indentation along the bottom edge. This is a classic 19th-century kiln artifact from the firing process where the glaze melted right over the touch-mark, leaving it completely smooth to the touch—a highly desired detail for collectors of primitive pottery.
• Base: Authentic rough, unglazed tan clay bottom showing classic 19th-century minor stone pops and kiln imperfections.
• Dimensions: Stands 8" tall.
• Weight: Heavy, thick-walled construction weighing a solid 5 lbs.
A gorgeous, structurally perfect piece of farmhouse history. Excellent as a standalone primitive statement piece, a rustic flower vase, or kitchen utensil holder.
