It had a prominent place on the family fireplace hearth in Raccoon Mountain, TN. The consignor, who is now 63, vividly remembers this jug on her grandfather’s hearth when she was a girl, and she says that her mother remembers it sitting in the same place even when she was small. It has remained with this same family since they acquired it, and this is the first time it has been offered for sale.
