A fantastic example from SW VA, eastern TN (possibly NW corner of NC) redware jug. 7.5"H x 5"W. The Great Road name was the main route from Roanoke, VA to Eastern TN. Part of the Great Wagon Road initiating in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. SW VA and Eastern TN yielded clays ideal earthenware production. Population was rapidly expanding in the latter 18th well into the 19th century. And the road provided transportation to facilitate this. The jug has some flaking of the lead glaze which is fairly minor along the most the most bulbous portion of the jug. Also there are some chips in the footed base.

all pottery is in good estate condition, the picture will show any flaws and if we see something that needs to be noted we will do so in the listing.
