The shoulder is accented by a decorative raised ring and two applied lug handles, complemented by cobalt blue slip decoration consisting of a large numeral 2 denoting gallon capacity alongside expressive swirling motifs. The jar measures approximately 12 5/8 in. H x 9 in. in diameter, displaying character-defining chips, surface abrasions, and original kiln glazing imperfections, along with some natural drying separation at the lug handles typical of historic folk pottery. Small hairline crack.
