Antique Western Stoneware 1 Gallon Jug Monmouth IL Maple Leaf Cobalt Crock 11 In
✨ Cabinet Curiosity No. 433 | The Monmouth Maple-Leaf Crock
Formed in 1906 through the consolidation of seven prominent Midwestern potteries—with Monmouth Pottery serving as Plant No. 1—the Western Stoneware Company of Monmouth, Illinois, produced some of the most enduring and collectible utilitarian stoneware in American history.
Standing approximately 11 inches tall by 7 inches in diameter, this authentic antique one-gallon stoneware jug features the classic two-tone aesthetic that defined early 20th-century American kitchens: a creamy, smooth Bristol-glazed lower cylindrical body topped by a rich, glossy brown Albany-slip glazed shoulder and integrated loop handle.
Emblazoned sharply on the front body in crisp cobalt blue is Western Stoneware's iconic trademark: the detailed maple leaf stamp bearing the company name. The open-spout neck is clean and smooth, displaying the honest character of a working utilitarian piece from the early 1900s.
A magnificent, display-ready centerpiece for collectors of Midwestern stoneware, early American primitives, and rustic farmhouse decor.

A Note About Vintage Items & Their Little Crimes
Many of the treasures at Honeyblue Hollow come from estate sales, flea markets, and consignment shops where interesting things wait to begin their next chapter. Because they existed long before they found me, their pasts are checkered.
Vintage means used: Expect honest, authentic character consistent with age and previous love.
The Smell & Storage Factor: My workspace is pet-friendly and smoke-free. Buyers with extreme sensitivities should review the full Vintage Items & Allergens note in my Shop Announcement.
