Glazed stoneware butter churn beautifully showcases the rustic charm and folk art heritage of early American utilitarian pottery. Featuring a substantial four-gallon capacity within its slightly curving, elegant silhouette and flared lip, the churn is adorned with a highly desirable, hand-painted cobalt blue heart motif framing the number "4" at its center. The churn measures approximately 15 3/4 in. H x 9 1/4 in. in diameter and is presented in an honestly weathered antique condition, exhibiting expected fine glaze crazing and natural surface wear consistent with its age with absent metal handles.
