Antique Stoneware Whiskey Jug with Brown Glaze Top
This classic stoneware whiskey jug features a salt-glazed stone body with a rich dark brown Albany slip glaze covering the shoulder and spout. Made in the late 19th to early 20th century, these utilitarian jugs were commonly used to store whiskey, cider, and other liquids, making them a staple in American households and taverns of the era.
The jug has a sturdy single-handle design with its original cork still intact, adding character and authenticity. The stone body shows natural age wear, surface imperfections, and firing marks consistent with antique stoneware, all of which contribute to its rustic charm. The base bears the expected patina from decades of use, making this piece a true survivor of its time.
Whether displayed as part of a farmhouse kitchen, rustic bar, or Americana collection, this whiskey jug carries with it the history of everyday life from over a century ago. It’s not only a decorative piece but also a fine example of traditional American pottery.
