Description
Debossed, "E. Grand Grocery Wine & Hardware Merchant Windham St. Guelph C W". 14 x 8.5" (diam). A tiny flake is missing on the lip of the jug (left of center) and there's some scattered blistering/flaking in the decoration. The vertical line towards the top left of the jug that might be mistaken as a crack is actually just an impression in the clay. The handle is missing and there is an impression and two burn marks on the back of the jug. Note in the address line that the "C" of "C.W." is just barely legible. It's quite likely that this jug was produced at the Brantford pottery as the decoration strongly resembles one of the floral decorations used by Morton & Bennett during their tenure. This jug is pictured on page 23 of "Jugs & Crocks of the Guelph Merchants" by Joyce Blyth. CODE:POT
