Item 9741
 
Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this wonderful 2 Gallon Jar made and stamped by "Whites Utica."
 
This is a work of Nicholas White and his sons, William and Charles, who ran the family pottery from 1865-1886 (William Ketchum, Jr., American Stoneware, pp. 69-70).
 
It was sold to me by a 99 year old lady pushed in a wheelchair at a recent show.  She said it was time to pass this treasure on to a new owner.  I gladly bought it because it is so unusual. 
 
This beauty features the Pottery Stamp with Cobalt Wash and a Large Brushed Cobalt Orchid Framed on Both Sides with a Couple more Squiggle Lines Below.  The decorator was waiting for his pizza lunch order and decided to spend a little more time on this jar than most!   Stands 10 1/2" tall. 
 
Very Good Condition.  A faint 1 1/4" hairline from the rim to the right handle (closeup) and a 1/4" chip on the same handle.  Otherwise no rim or base chips, cracks, stains, or restoration.
