DescriptionFrom the sales record: A 2 gal jug from Flack and Van Arsdale Cornwall Ontario. This is a beautiful example. I rarely call any crock mint, but this one is flawless. Even the handle and mouth edge are perfect. Orang-peel texture to the heavy salt-glaze. The bird design is well executed. The line you see mid body is from the turning.
