Message:: [QUOTE="DanaB, post: 1949898, member: 10739"]Andy, Found the additional pictures interesting. They seem to confirm what I thought which is this jug was hand made. Being more close-up pics, it confirmed what I thought I had seen in the collar, handle, eyebrows and lips. These were all applied after the jug was molded and shaped. At least that's what I'm seeing. Now I also see something else I could not see before and that's the crazing in the glaze. Which can happen as a result of age or environment. And unfortunately can effect the price. So overall he's in good condition without any chips or scrapes. And the only 2 things I can see against this jug is that it has no mark and it has the crazing.  So I thank you for your measurements and I had to convert them into inches as I'm in the US. Which I came up with approx. 5" tall x 4 1/4" wide. Funny..noticed your ruler had inches on the other side! Ok, with all this info gathered, I still think this jug could bring a good price being hand made. And being that it was made in the 1800s, not all potters early on marked their jugs. I've got a jug book of early potters. I'm going to find it and see if I can find anything in it that might help. Let me get back to you. Dana[/QUOTE]
