Comments

The ovoid jug with an unglazed, buff-colored body, has an applied handle.  A single score line marks the rounded shoulder.  In addition to the somewhat lopsided stance of the jug, the handle has been applied crookedly.

Given the provenance of this jug and its several non-urban workmanship qualities, it may have been made somewhere in Delaware.
