I just acquired my first saltglazed bottle. I never owned one before so I was surprised to see how large it actually is. It is grey colored outside and brown glazed inside. Blue colored debossed HR, PRENTICE 1873. It was found in the eaves of a Coventry, RI farm house built in the 1790's. (Joseph Briggs House) The farm was converted into the town poor house. It was renovated into a 2 family house in 1985 when it was found in the attic. Impurities in the stoneware caused a defect to form when fired. It has no crazing, cracks or chips. I put a link to some information on Coventry and the Joseph Briggs House.
