North Carolina alkaline-glazed stoneware jug displays a rich, runny olive-green glaze characteristically embedded with primitive stone inclusions and kiln debris typical of traditional Piedmont regional kilns. The compact vessel features an applied strap handle set high near the rim. It measures approximately 11 in. H x 5 5/8 in. in diameter overall, with evident historical painted touch-up restoration work to the handle where it joins lip and a fully restored handle, alongside natural clay separation at the lower handle connection.
