Western Stoneware produced enormous numbers of plain utility jugs, and many left the factory with only a paper label. Several features fit Western Stoneware production from roughly 1895–1915 The unmarked base (not all Western Stoneware jugs were impressed with a capacity or maker’s mark). Found 30 miles from Monmouth 13 inches tall 9 inch base 10 lbs Hair line crack on handle Per CHATGPT Several features fit Western Stoneware production from roughly 1895–1915: * The plain cream-colored salt glaze. * The cylindrical body with the pronounced shoulder. * The heavy, hand-applied strap handle. * The glazed interior. * The unmarked base (not all Western Stoneware jugs were impressed with a capacity or maker’s mark). Western Stoneware produced enormous numbers of plain utility jugs, and many left the factory with only a paper label. If the label came off over the last century, the jug would look exactly as yours does today. My opinion I’d say there is about a 70–80% chance this is an early Western Stoneware Company 1-gallon jug, made in Monmouth, Illinois, or one of its associated plants around 1900–1915.
