No other stoneware pottery existed for ten years, making Moses Farrar the only stoneware pottery operating before 1841, when the Act of Union created Canada West and Canada East. Pieces from this earliest Farrar pottery are exceedingly rare. This is the first we have ever offered. Marked Moses Farrar, S.t Johns LC. The form of this crock is unusual. It is either an odd shaped cream crock or possibly a pharmacy piece. I have seen about a dozen LC marked pieces over the years with the most being handled ovoid jugs. This is the only one known in this unusual form. 2 gal size. 11 1/2\" tall. The left handle and two small rim flakes have been professionally restored. An important Lower Canada piece from Canada's first stoneware potter."},"medium":{"label":"Medium","value":"Stoneware"},"onview":{"label":"On View","value":"1"},"media":{"label":"Media","value":{"mediaRenditionNumber":"T10.6.357","publicAccess":"true","mediaImageURL":"https://emuseum.gardinermuseum.com/internal/media/dispatcher/29620/full","rank":"0","pixelHeight":"222","pixelWidth":"148","mediaID":"29620"}},"title":{"label":"Title","value":"Two gallon jug"},"classification":{"label":"Classifications","value":"North American"},"rels":{"label":"Relations","value":"[]"},"subclassification2":{"label":"Sub-classification 2","value":""},"primaryMedia":{"value":"https://emuseum.gardinermuseum.com/internal/media/dispatcher/29620/full"},"subclassification3":{"label":"Sub-classification 3","value":""},"collections":{"label":"Collections","value":["The Raphael Yu Collection","19th and early 20th Century Ceramics","Canadian Ceramics in the 1800s","Ceramics for the Canadian Market"]},"geography":{"label":"Geography","value":"Manufactured: St. Johns, Québec, Canada"},"culture":{"label":"Culture","value":"Canadian"},"displayDate":{"label":"Date","value":"c.1839"},"id":{"label":"Id","value":"185006"},"dimensions":{"label":"Dimensions","value":"Overall: 30 × 17 cm (11 13/16 × 6 11/16 in.)"}}]}
