I enjoy their site but it looks like they sell everything good they dig? What I do know is by digging a bottle or a jug doesn't make you an expert on any item. I think a pottery or stoneware collector could give you a much better assessment of your pitcher.


For the record, I don't doubt your honesty but I too doubt the authenticity of this jug. New pieces of pottery including jugs and small sized pig flasks have been showing up in the midwest the last couple of years with actual TOC whiskey co.'s names scratched in them.The ones I have seen have come from cities in Indiana as well as Cincinnati & Columbus O. and Louisville,Ky.. I'd assume your peice was made by the same unscrupulous maker. The mold and glaze don't look like pitchers made by potters from that time period. A pottery expert could tell you more than any of us bottle diggers, however.
