Note: In the catalog description from Shaping Traditions: Folk Arts in a Changing South, John Burrison, University of Georgia Press, 2000, pg. 127, cat. no. 269, Burrison writes, "This is a reproduction of a late 1700s Moravian piece by Rudolph Christ of Salem. David and his wife, Mary Livingston Farrell, apprenticed at the Jugtown Pottery in the 1970s before opening Westmoore Pottery, where they specialize in interpretations of historic American and European wares". For the elixir dispenser, pg. 114, cat. no. 103, Burrison writes, "This stoneware container was made without a lid so the mixture of roots, rock candy and whiskey could be shaken without spilling".
