This style of storage jar is very appropriate
for the latter quarter of the 1700’s and into
the 1800’s. Modelled after original examples
by Master Potter, Gary Nieter. While lids
are appropriately included, they were often
used without them utilising instead pieces
of fabric, leather, paper, or animal bladders
tied over the mouths. Made of a specially
formulated stoneware clay to handle liquids,
so they are perfect for both pickling as
well as for dry storage. Hand-thrown by our
potter here in Indiana. Food-safe, lead-free
glaze. The 1/2 Gallon version is nearly 8-1/2 inches tall and 5 inches in diameter and holds a little under a half-gallon.
