Northeastern Ohio 4 Gallon Stoneware Butter Churn

Circa Mid 19th Century: Measuring 15" tall, this sleek slightly ovoid 4 gallon Ohio churn sports a big folksy freehand flower with leaves and cobalt decorated handles. The churn has a flat lip very similar to stoneware made just across the state border in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, but the clay color and decoration place it firmly within the Buckeye State's boundaries. The churn is in excellent condition with expected minor chipping on the inside and outside of the top rim, several in the making tight firing lines on the body and bottom which do not go through to the inside and are considered typical of the region's crockery. This is a beautiful piece of early Midwestern stoneware.
