- Lot Description
likely early 1900s, Cullman, Alabama area, layered runny yellow glaze over red clay body, cylindrical form with rounded shoulder, black line around shoulder, flared exterior rim, water well surrounding interior mouth, unknown maker, 9-3/4 in.
Provenance: Collection of Carole Wahler, Knoxville, Tennessee
Note: It has been said these forms are associated with the St. Bernard Preparatory School in Cullman Alabama. Oral history reveals that the priests who ran the school used these for various purposes including wine making. Similar jugs and jars have turned up in the Cullman area shops for sale. According to the consignors acquaintance, one of these jugs turned up at a yard sale and the owner stated her father, who worked at the school, brought one home as they were in common use at the institution, however no information was given about the maker.
