It is Not Marked but Based on My Experience it Appears to be in the Approx 1 Gallon Capacity Size. It has No Maker Mark but I Believe that the Origin Could Possibly be Connecticut. It has a Greige Salt Glazed Exterior and it is Rendered in the Classic Early 19th Century "Ovoid" Style - Form. It also has the Added Feature of Applied Handles - "Ears". The Front of the Jar is Artistically & Unusually Hand Decorated with a Deep Navy - Cobalt Blue Decoration. The Interior is Done in a Uniform Dark Coffee Brown Color. Back in the Day These Types of Stoneware Items were a Necessity in Most of Americas Farms and Household's and They were Made - Intended For Everyday Utilitarian Use. These Types of American Stoneware Items we Completely Hand Made out of Indigenous Clay on a Potters Wheel from Start to Finish and Therefore No 2 are Absolutely Identical. Jars of This Type were Typically Used to Store and Preserve Many Types of Liquids and Other Foods. It is in Exceptionally Nice Cosmetic as well as Strong & Sound Usable Original Condition - Displays Beautifully.
