I bought the jug in Ohio, and it is almost exactly the same color and speckled glaze with drippings as your bowl. The bottom looks very old to me. It's about 11inches tall and 9 inches across.Tess Kincaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04889725786678984293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2525886209274814282.post-10733518141699288122009-01-29T18:57:00.000-06:002009-01-29T18:57:00.000-06:00Hi Willow, Ovoid jugs are highly sought after as w...Hi Willow, Ovoid jugs are highly sought after as well (the more ovoid the better), so you probably have a great piece. Old pieces from the 1800s usually have a more mellow surface, even though they can still have some shine due to the glazing. But, the shine is not bright. Later (20th century) pieces usually have a "crystal clear like" look to the glaze. Also, on the bottom of the piece you will see evidence of the jug being placed on hard surfaces throughout its life, indicating appropriate wear. If you really want to learn about pottery, you should look at it everytime you are at a show or shop. Over time you will develope an eye for the age. That is the very best way of knowing. You will soon train your eye to pick up on the differences between 19th & early 20th century pieces (alot of pottery was made during that time as well). In Tennessee we can often determine the region in which the piece was made by examining the color of the clay, glazes, etc. You may be able to do this with your piece, if you are familiar with the process in your regions. Is your piece from Ohio? You can send me a pic and I would be happy to take a look at it for you. Send one of the bottom as well. Glad you liked the piece.
