Item 8438
 
Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this Complete 40 Quart or 10 Gallon Blue and White Spongeware Water Cooler. 
 
The pattern of the spongeware makes it easy to attribute to the Fulper Pottery of Flemington, N.J. 
 
Dating to the early 20th century, this beauty is complete.  From the top down is the original lid, filter portion with the original stone filter at the bottom, and the retaining bottom with original spigot.  All together it stands 2 feet tall.
 
Excellent Condition.  The lid is mint.  The filter has a minor 1/2" chip on the underside at the edge, and the base has a 1/2" chip on the inside of the rim.  Otherwise as made.
