Signed D P Shenfelder 2 gal. Stoneware Jug

This is a fine example of a signed 2 gallon D.P. Shenfelder blue decorated stoneware jug. The ovoid formed jug has the signature Shenfelder brushed floral design with an extra blue stripe underneath. The jug is stamped "D.P. Shenfelder, Reading, PA" with a "2" inside a circle. Measuring 13.5" tall, the jug is in very good condition. There are a few lines radiating from a stone in the clay. The lines are stable and the crock rings true. There are stack marks and kiln touches that were in the making. None of this detracts from the aesthetics of this great jug from one of Pennsylvania's premier 19th Century stoneware producers. Please see our Ruby Lane website for additional photos.
