Two gallon ovoid stoneware jug with a cobalt blue floral decoration.
There are also blue highlights around the neck and the handle. The jug is in good condition, marred only by a tight hairline radiating up on the back side and a tiny chip out of the top rim. This piece was most probably made by the Isaac V. Machett pottery in Cornwall on Hudson, NY, circa 1850.
Dimensions: 14" high x 9" diameter

Early adjustable wooden lighting device, (or candlestand), on tripod feet.

Item No. 130010
Price: $1,900.
One gallon ovoid stoneware advertising jug, 11" high.
The most appealing thing about this jug is the stamped inscription: "Sold by L. Paddock & Son, Cheaper Than The Cheapest, Watertown, Jefferson Co. [NY]". The jug is missing its handle, but the inscription nevertheless makes it a wonderful display item.
L. Paddock most likely refers to Loveland Paddock, who operated a general store in Watertown from 1816 to 1842 before becoming a banker. His only son, Edwin L. Paddock was born in 1824. The jug, therefore, probably dates from circa 1840.
