Rare Large Size King Geoge II Westerwald Jug 1700's

I found this in the same pit as the "AR" mug and the Westerwald chamber pot that I posted earlier. It was in pieces, but I managed to get her back together. I contacted well known Archaeologist Ivor Noel Hume and sent him photographs of it.

It measures 11 inches tall, with a 3 1/2 inch base and top.

He stated it was from the early 1700's, a rare large size, and had unusual seal with a crown shape that he had not seen before.......THAT MADE MY DAY!

It may not be whole, but it is one RARE puppy!

Enjoy the pics!

awesome recovery and repair.. most people would just say " i wonder what this would have looked like whole " but to painstakingly collect all those little pieces and put it back together the way you did is amazing.. rather than just having a chard ortwo of pottery you now have an artifact.. well done..

Thank you, believe me it was a labor of love. Since I first saw a GR mug at Colonial Williamsburg when I was five I wanted one of these BAD!!
