What a suprise find when this came out of the mud. Other than a few cracks and a chipped lip not a bad find. Cobalt slip really held up.

That's a nice find even with the damage and you can't go wrong with the price being free.

Wow, that's a beauty! Damage or no damage, that's a great find. Probably very rare as well. Don't often see advertising items made in that saltglaze style with the blue decoration. Any idea of its age?

Mug was made by White's Pottery of Utica NY between 1890-1907 . One is for sale online at Doc's Crocks for $125. Mine has the #20 on the base same as the one for sale. All info I posted is from the Doc Crocks website. A year or so later I dug up the bottle to complete the set.
