- Stoneware Jug, 1830-1850 - This 3-gallon jug was made of a durable, leak-proof pottery called stoneware. The orange-peel-like outer glaze was created when the potter threw handfuls of common rock salt into a white-hot kiln during the piece's firing. Salt-glazed stoneware pieces were decorated with an amazing array of designs, including this piece with its incised foliated vines and fish decorated with cobalt blue glaze.
