Jug
Object/Artifact
A salt glazed gray thrown stoneware semi-ovoid jug of unknown manufacture. The jug has a rimless collar with an unglazed mouth and a deep incised line at the throat. The handle of the jug is pulled on from the collar, supported by extra clay at the neck, and laid on in a C curve to an attached end. The base of the jug is haloed in light greenish-brown, an area where fly ash and/or salt vapor has overglazed. The upper portion of the jug is spattered in brown. The jug then extends downward to an flat unglazed base. The jug has a corn cob fragment inside, probably used as a stopper.
