<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scoutshouse, post: 1131489, member: 267&quot;]<i>The origin of the Tiger on a piece of Massachusetts stoneware is unknown, but other circus animals (elephants, zebras, etc) have appeared on decorated pieces. On June 7, 1871, the first traveling circus performed in nearby Middleborough (MA), about 9 miles east of Taunton. The grand spectacle was none other than &quot;P.T Barnum&#039;s Grand Traveling Museum, Menagerie, Caravan &amp; Hippodrome&quot; in its very first year of operation. Barnum&#039;s &quot;Menagerie&quot; included a number of exotic caged animals including Bengal Tigers, Leopards, Panthers and Jaguars. </i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p>Worthpoint</p><p><i><a href="https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/nr-antique-stoneware-4g-crock-cobalt-1811658703" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/nr-antique-stoneware-4g-crock-cobalt-1811658703" rel="nofollow"><font size="4"><b>*NR* Antique Stoneware: 4G Crock w/ Cobalt Tiger, F.T Wright, Taunton MA, c1870s</b></font></a></i></p><p><i>[ATTACH=full]211635[/ATTACH] Very cool, [USER=10944]@J Dagger[/USER]! </i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
