Item 9857
 
Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this wonderful 16 Gallon Stoneware Jar made by "T. F. Reppert, Greensboro, Pa."   I just had it shipped from a storage unit in Florida.
 
Thomas Reppert made pottery solo in Greensboro from 1884-1890 (Phil Shaltenbrand, Big Ware Turners, pp. 157-159).  
 
This beauty features a Large Size with Top to Bottom Decoration.   From the top down are two straight and a wavy stripe, a row of vining, the company advertising with snowflakes at the top and framing a wavy line with a fancy floral on both sides, a freehadn 16 capacity number framed by leaves, another row of vining, and a bottom stripe.  Stands 24" tall. 
 
Exceptional Condition.  As made.  No damage of any kind!  There is a network of drying/firing lines inside at the bottom, but the are all surface only and in the making (closeup).  
 
I cannot ship this jar, so will have to make arrangements to meet.
