We've had this about 60 years and always well cared for. Design, shape,  and colors are really pretty. Certainly one of my favorites. I'm no expert, but I don't see a lot of 1/2 gallon sizes perfect for kitchen counters. We displayed this on an antique large flour bin and always got plenty of compliments. Condition is really exceptional still has high glaze and no chips, cracks, or even crazing. There is one small black spot on inner rim, but it's under the glaze I think pic 9 toothpick for sizing. There's certainly color variations the back design is slightly lighter than the front. The first picture shows some glare from light so I retook the last picture from above shows blue more accurately. Also pottery itself is more gray than photo shows. Bottom does shows darkening. I did wash it before pics and it holds water still. Measures about 7 1/2" tall, almost 9" across at handles, and 6" at base. Weighs almost 4 pounds.

I want to let everyone know I appreciate your looking at my items. I am not an expert but have grown up since a very young age around flea markets antique stores and such. We worked flea markets from Michigan to Ohio to Shipshewana. And antique stores from Michigan to Florida. 99% of the items I'm selling are from my family's private collection of over 60 years or my father's used book and record store. I will always try to give accurate descriptions with as much detail as I can see, but my eyes are a little old and tired now. If at any time I miss a flaw please let me know so I can correct the mistake. I ship with great care and proper insurance. Also of note if the shipping cost is grossly inflated I do refund the buyer handling charges are extremely low. Thanks again and I hope you enjoy the items as much as we have.
