C-21630 <br> <br> Two-tone stoneware whiskey jug converted into a table lamp during the mid-twentieth century. The authentic turn-of-the-century pottery vessel features a dark brown Albany-slip glazed shoulder above a cream Bristol-glazed body with an applied handle and cobalt-painted “2” (denoting two gallon capacity). Probably converted during the 1960s–1970sl, the lamp retains its stained wooden base, woven fabric shade, and vintage electrical components. <br> <br> The stoneware jug exhibits expected light surface wear, minor glaze imperfections, and age-related discoloration consistent with use. The jug rotates freely on the wooden base, though the overall lamp remains structurally sound. The woven fabric shade displays light wear with a small break in the woven material and minor imperfections as shown. Lamp is in working condition, bulb is not included. <br> <br> 10" Diam. x 26.5" H
