The chicken looks pretty similar to mine. Think they were decorated by the same person? The churn is by the New York Stoneware Co., Fort Edward, NY.

RE: Odd stoneware-- what was it used for? - 7/28/2008 8:09:56 AM    Stardust Posts: 925 Joined: 10/5/2007 Status: offline history maybe? The Bird in Hand was adopted as a pub name in the UK in the Middle Ages and there are still many pubs of that name there. This refers back to medieval falconry where a bird in the hand (the falcon) was certainly worth more than two in the bush. i think it's artwork is of "the bird in hand" which was certainly worth more than two in the bush ( the prey). in the USA has been known by 1734, as that is the date when a small town in PA was founded with that name.it has that PA look to it to me. i think it is just beautiful. these are just my thoughts.... _____________________________ YouTube - The Story of Cinderella http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0ucno0rUZw Blessings & Love, star* (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 26

Maybe Ottman Bros., Fort Edward,NY., but also looks PA in origins...ie Cowden out of HarrisburgNuthin like it in my books...but similar decorated batter jars go for $800 plus....circa 1880-1890 possibly earlier.If you could ID maker the value could increase. _____________________________ * Member: Bristol Historical Assoc...and, Friends of Steeles Creek Nature Center & Park President: Bristol Tenn-Va Bottle Club Author of: Spirits & Medicinal Bottles of Bristol,TN-VA.
