Description: Antique early salt glazed stoneware 1 gallon jug marked E. Swasey & Co. out of Portland, ME. ~U.S.A.~ circa 1890. Beautiful example of an early stoneware jug. The heavy salt glazed, 2 tone jug has slightly blurred lettering in a framed graphics box reading "E. SWASEY & CO, PORTLAND, ME. U.S.A" The "1" indicates that this 11 inch jug is the one gallon size. Swasey crocks and jugs were made since 1890 by Eben Swasey at his brick warehouse on Commercial St, downtown Portland, Me.. That brick factory still bears the company name. No chips or cracks on this survivor. There is a glazing flaw inside the lip and a few extra glaze bumps around the base but otherwise, fine condition. This is a very nice example of an everyday commercial jug that has survived for 130+ years. The condition is exceptionally nice with no chips, cracks flea bites or repairs. It looks like there was a glaze bubble that popped on the #1. It does not look like a chip from damage. It measures 11 x 6.5 inches.
