Item 10176
 
Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this Monumental 5 Gallon Merchant Script Jug made for "Bleecker & Corcoran, Wines, Liquors, & C., Albany, N.Y." 
 
It was made and stamped by the Fort Edward Stoenware Co., Fort Edward, N.Y." This company was a joint venture of Andrew Haxstun and George Guy from 1875 to 1883 (William Ketchum, Jr., Potters and Potteries of New York State, 1650-1900, pp. 250-253). 
 
This beauty features a Large 5 Gallon Size, Pottery Stamp with Cobalt Wash, and Three Lines of Cobalt Script Advertising.  Obviously this company did some wholesaling as this jug attests.  Stands 20" tall.
 
Excellent Condition.  A minor 1/8" nibble inside and outside of the spout.  That's it!  No base chips, hairlines, cracks, stains, or restoration.  A horizontal surface drying line near the base on the right side in the making.
