I would estimate it could hold at least 4 gallons. You can see that the lid is made by hand, the bottom shows the stilt marks, and the interior shows the characteristic ribbing of a hand thrown piece of pottery. I have done a lot of research, and I'm still not sure of the maker, as it is unmarked.
Has characteristics of Uhl, Zanesville, RRP, Fulper, North Carolina potters, Bybee, Cole, even Illinois potteries. I was not able to find anything else quite like it.
