Description : An antique Little Brown Spice Jar or Crock with Sgraffito handscript and original fitted lid, attributed to one of the Norton Family potteries (Bennington VT or Worcester, MA), c. Wheel-thrown, cylindrical form with eased shoulder, rounded rim with integrated inner ledge for a lid. Dip-Decorated in a rich brown, Albany Slip. Scratch-Inscribed on the body in large fancy script: Cloves. Condition : Excellent overall with some minor imperfections noted below. Original Lid with one small nick on the button finial.

The unglazed underside with several scored lines (probably for grinding whole cloves); see close-ups. These lids are extremely scarce in any condition. Upper Jar Rim with slight wear and a pinhead nick on perimeter edge. Fingerprints noted at the heel on opposing left and right sides.

Note: these prints are fairly typical on most slip-decorated miniatures, Little Brown Jugs, etc. Interior still smells of Clove! Base is exceptionally clean with slight wear along the perimeter edge.

Inherent glaze, surface and firing imperfections noted for complete descriptive accuracy. See photos for complete details and close-ups and please consider them as part of the description. Approximate Half-Pint capacity; measures only 4-1/8H x 3-1/8W overall.

Diameter of inner Rim: 2-5/8. Good Luck, thanks for watching, and be sure to bookmark my Auctions, listed and ending daily.
