Description
This is an antique two-tone stoneware jug, with a brown top and a lighter, unglazed body. The number "5" on the jug indicates its capacity, which in this case is likely 5 gallons. These types of jugs were commonly used in the 19th and early 20th centuries to store and transport liquids like whiskey, water, and other beverages. The two-tone color is a common feature of these jugs, which were often made using a salt-glazing process. This process involved adding salt to the kiln during firing, creating a durable and non-porous surface. The number "5" could have been hand-drawn, carved, or stenciled on the jug.
