    Stoneware Jug of H. C. Bohack

    I dug up fragments of this stoneware jug and pieced them back together. The jug is incomplete but has a fascinating history. It was made for H. C. Bohack Co. which was a family owned chain of grocery stores founded in 1887 by German immigrant Henry Christian Bohack. Henry C. Bohack: Bohack...

    1 Gallon Stoneware Jug

    This is a jug I reconstructed from fragments. I couldn't find all of the pieces so the jug is incomplete, it was good practice though! Maybe one day I'll fill in the holes with plaster. :D

    19th c. Stoneware: 1 and 1/2 Gallon Crock

    New location, new riverbank, new stoneware. A 1 and 1/2 gallon storage crock. Managed to find one of the broken-off peices, quite confident the other piece may be burried near by, otherwise a fair bit of restoration work is required. If anyone has any additional information about this...

    Queen Victoria's Toothpaste

    I was digging for bottles in a new site last year when I found the lid to a stoneware toothpaste tub. It has the Imperial Crest of Queen Victoria on it as well as the words "by appointment" under it. I did some research and found out the "by appointment" designation means the product was in use...

    Maine Stoneware Bottles

    Hey, any info on Maine stoneware Bottles? I know a lot of them are “maverick”, meaning they only have the bottlers names stamped into them, but no city or state. Hoping to find someone with a list or literature on them. I got a “J.E. Wentworths Ginger Pop” bottle from my uncle when he passed...

    Help ID this stoneware bottle?

    I found this while digging in my back yard. (I live in New Orleans, 9th Ward) It was about 18” deep and it’s location was likely the site of the privy. I can’t quite make out the stamp but my best guess is “H KENNEDY 8 GLASGOW”. Anyone have a better guess? I’m so curious about it!
