  Note: In the catalog description from Shaping Traditions: Folk Arts in a Changing South, John Burrison, University of Georgia Press, 2000, pg. 123, cat. no. 216, Burrison writes, "The holes in the rim were for securing the lid, "4" was stamped upside down to indicate seven gallons. Charles Kline married Emma Brown at jugtown, by 1883 they had moved to Atlanta. His partner may have been his father in law, potter William S. Brown." This is a rare stamp, this business arrangement was very short lived, very few stamped examples are known.
