Antique 5-Gallon Salt-Glazed Stoneware Shoulder Jug

Description: A classic piece of American farmhouse history, this 5-gallon "shoulder-style" stoneware jug features a clean, cream-colored salt glaze and a prominent cobalt blue "5" stamp, signifying its liquid capacity. The jug is topped with its original cork, a rare find that adds to its authentic "Sustainable Luxury" appeal. Whether used as a floor vessel for dried botanicals or as a standalone sculptural element, its primitive charm and substantial presence make it a versatile anchor for any room. 
 
Good Antique Condition. The body is structurally sound with no large cracks. There is a visible, stable hairline fracture at the base of the handle and minor surface pitting/glaze pops typical of 19th-century salt-glazing processes. The cobalt stamp remains crisp and vibrant.
