Rare Antique Cobalt Blue Bird Decorated Stoneware Jug Norton Vt. 5 Gal. Vintage

  
OFFERED HERE IS A RARE COBALT BLUE BIRD DECORATED SALT GLAZED STONEWARE JUG BY. Norton Stoneware Jug with Cobalt Bird, J. 5 GALLON SIZE MEASURES 17 3/4" TALL 11" ACROSS WITH A CORK HOLE 1 1/4 DIAMETER. AND THE BIRD ITSELF IS 7 TALL. THE PIECE IS ONLY MARKED WITH THE 5 GALLON MARK AND THE COBALT BLUE BIRD HAS A SLIGHTLY FANCY STYLE HANDLE AND THE CORK HOLE AREA HAS FAIRLY STRAIGHT SIDES. HAS NO CRACKS OR CHIPS TO MAIN BODY OF JUG BUT IT APPEARS TO HAVE A CHIP MISSING IN THE CENTER OF THE BIRD ITSELF.

MY GUESS IS THAT SOMEBODY SHOT IT WITH A BB GUN BUT, IT EXISTS. THIS IS A PRIZE PIECE TO A MUSEUM OR A HIGH END COLLECTOR. THE CHIP COULD EASILY BE FILLED IN WITH BLUE BUT, I THINK IT ADDS TO THE BEAUTY AND CHARACTER OF THE JUG, PLEASE LOOK AT PICTURES AS PART OF THE DESCRIPTION.
