RARE Antique BURLEY & WINTER STAR TOP Whiskey Crock Jug Stoneware Bail Handle

  
Very Old, BURLEY & WINTER WHISKEY CROCK, with rare STARBURST raised design around the siphon hole in center top. Domed Top, wire and wood bail handle. Signed as shown on bottom. This has been in my collection for several years, and I have never seen another like this.

I estimate the capacity is 1 1/2 gallon, + or -, but that is my estimate; I haven't measured with liquid. SIZE: Approx 9 3/4 high.

About 7 diameter across widest part. Measurements are to the best of my ability to measure. CONDITION: It is old, with NO body cracks. I count 4 small chips, along shoulder rim and bottom rim, but several manufacturing dimples, creases, bubbles, inclusions, etc TYPICAL productions imperfections & flaws, minor bottom edge roughness, as you would expect.

PLEASE NOTE: If you look carefully at the closeup images of the bail handle LOOPS, you can see lines. I was told these loops are closed off after firing, and after the handle has been placed.

You can see where the glaze has fired around the lines, so this is done during production. Nice and solid, great looking crock. This is an unusual beauty to add to your collection, so please look at all the pictures. These pictures are important and give you a better ability to judge condition.

This great, old crock will make a superb addition to your collection. And please check out all my other items listed. CHECK OUT my other books and items Listed, currently and in future. I list as much as, and as quickly as I can.
