Four-gallon stoneware jug with a salt glaze. The outside of the jug is a glossy tan, and the inside is coated with a dark brown Albany slip. The jug features a cobalt slip-trailed floral motif. What appear to be diagonal rib marks wrap around the base of the jug, and throw lines run up the middle to the handle. The jug is corked.
