Gimme some time to post all these pics, there's a lot... [:-]

Anyway, today I went and saw an absolutely amazing collection! It's easily the best I've ever seen in person. Stoneware and bottles galore... Nothing was for sale, but they weren't completely cognizant of how much money they really have on their hands... Was I wrong in telling them they have tens of thousands of dollars worth of stuff?

A Bennington/Rockingham type pitcher with a Spanish conquistador type person holding a beer mug on it... I don't know what's on the other side? What's this one worth?

Broke into tears... A 1 gallon version... The person said they had a red one elsewhere!

I fell over when I saw this... a 5 gallon churn with a pattern of FOUR MEN ON IT! I think they look like European soldiers... Am I wrong in thinking this is in the tens of thousands of $$$$?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is this an 1820's ovoid jug with some sort of devil/cow figure incised on it? $10,000s?

I was blown away... I think there's a pic of the whole thing in here somewhere.

If it's "right" then yes.

And no reason to think it isn't right - it's just very unusual and as of yet undocumented.

Very cool!!!!!!
