About the Item

This 19th-century American stoneware jug is reminiscent of the works attributed to George W. Miller of Strasburg, Virginia, a noted Shenandoah Valley potter active in the mid-to-late 1800s. The jug features a classic ovoid body with a narrow mouth and a single loop handle at the shoulder, characteristic of regional utilitarian pottery used for cider, whiskey, or molasses storage. Its salt-glazed surface presents an earthy blend of brown and gray hues with subtle orange undertones, creating a natural patina from kiln firing. Handmade on the wheel, the jug embodies the sturdy craftsmanship and understated aesthetic typical of early Virginia stoneware. The piece remains in good antique condition with expected wear, kiln marks, and age-related surface variations that enhance its authenticity and charm.
