<p>[QUOTE="wlwhittier, post: 12035679, member: 76316"]~10 1/2" high, ~8 3/4" rim diameter; weighs 7 lb 6 oz. </p><p>UV reactive in an unusual way; it gets a bit darker. The pontil shows only as a ~2" circle with nothing ground or at all ragged. The rim had to have been molded, bit I cannot see any mold lines elsewhere on the vessel except at the bottom, where some form tooling must have been used. There is considerable wear on the base; a reasonably uniform 1/8" ring (pic x). There is no lid or cover. The jar id completely without decoration. I found it in my own woodshed today, buried deep an' heavily soiled. I have no idea how I came to have it. I'd like to know hat these are called...it's the largest I've seen, by far. Did it originally have a lid? Does the UV reaction tell y'all anything useful? I'm thinking my lady will grab it...she makes a mean KimChee...an' I have Sauerkraut seriously in mind, just a modest batch! Thanks for lookin'!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]551282[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]551283[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]551284[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]551285[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]551286[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]551287[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]551289[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
