Item Description: <p><u><b>Details</u></b> <ul> <li><b>Description: </b>Antique manganese and lead glazed redware miniature jug. This 19th century miniature has a beautiful classic shape and a greenish glaze near the top which transitions to a yellowish brown glaze as it approaches the base. It has a beautifully made applied handle which is also colored green. The piece has blotches of nice brown glaze coloring that gives it a beautiful and unusual look. The jug has a flat base with flared rounded sides rising to a short neck ending in a plain rolled rim. The shoulder of the jug is decorated with one incised circle that really adds character to the piece. The jug has a beautiful applied handle ending with a nice depression at its bottom where it meats the body of the piece. It is glazed with a greenish colored background with dark speckles near the top and this beautiful yellow-brown background near the bottom. The piece has the dark brown splotches associated with manganese glazing. A very nice shape and rare color. The base has what looks like a "T" incised on the base. Please review the photos as they are part and parcel of the description. <br><br> <li><b>Date: </b>Late 1800s. <br><br> <li><b>Origin: </b>Southeastern Pennsylvania <br><br> <li><b>Size: </b>Measures 1 15/16" diameter at the base, 3 1/2" high, and is 3 3/4" at its widest including the handle. The top opening is 1" in diameter. <br><br> <li><b>Maker: </b>Unknown. <br><br> <li><b>Marks: </b>Incised "T" on bottom. <br><br> <li><b>Distinguishing Characteristics - Most Interesting About The Piece: </b>This is a very well made and very nice antique miniature in absolutely great condition. <br><br> <li><b>Condition: </b> Super condition giving its age with no cracks, repairs, chips, or hairlines. It does have general fine crazing, which gives this jug a beautiful character and makes it great to display. It also has two or three small spots where the glaze is lost, these are very hard to see (please examine the photos carefully to see these spots) but they are there. Finally as is the case with all these primitive old redware pieces, the jug has a few of the usual defects you would expect such as pops, unglazed areas and uneven spots. Please see photos to appreciate the quality, beauty and condition of this great and rare miniature antique. <br><br> <li><b>In Closing: </b>This is a very nice antique of rare color and shape deserving a prominent spot in any antique redware collection.<br></center></td></tr></table></center></div>
