http://www.thememphisdiggers.com/memphisminijuglist.htm Check out #35 & 36. A reference of two mini jugs dug in Memphis, but I am having a difficult time tracking this company down. There were literally 100's of makers in Tennessee.

In case anyone is in doubt of authenticity. Here is a link to a response from the only resource I've found for James Longinotti & Co. This guy is a true EXPERT in the field!!!

I think it's an advertising water pitcher, or "pub jug": http://pubjug.com/history.html

I posted my original message on the memphisdigger website at 03:33 PM on 07/23/2009 ---- the site owner posted his reply at 06:45 PM on 07/27/2009 ---- and Thanked him for his input at 07:50 PM on 07/28/2009. How 8 minutes fit into this timeline, I haven't the slightest clue?? If it wasn't for this site owner (Mike) and his true passion for digging and collecting, James Longinotti & Co. would be long forgotten in the past. He owns the only known mini jugs made by this company and he also VERIFIED that my pitcher is authenic. I'm sure he has GOOD reasoning behind this decision!!! As you can see from my initial post on the memphis digger website, he had every reason to be skeptical. If he is the one and only bidder, good for him. He KNOWS what he it talking about!!!!

Check out Part 2 on the link. This pitcher was made with a two-piece mold, after trimming the excess clay they applied the glaze. Blue and white stoneware was manufactured in the same way.
