Dark Brown Stoneware Crock Jug
E. W. Farrington Elmira N.Y.
This beautiful vintage jug stands aprox 8 inches tall and 8inches wide. It looks like when they put the glaze on it that it didn\'t run allthe way to the bottom of the jug. It has a tiny chip on the lip of the spout.There is a cork in it that I have not tried to remove.
I am listing it in the condition I found it in my mothershouse in upstate New I was looking for information about E.W. Farrington I found this information about the company.
