Syrup Jug 1852 - 1858

This white stoneware jug with a pewter lid, titled "Syrup Jug," was created between 1852 and 1858 by the United States Pottery Company. The surface of the jug is elaborately decorated with a floral motif, featuring raised, three-dimensional details of flowers, leaves, and a textured background. The jug was part of a set, likely used for serving syrup and other beverages. The jug is now a part of the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
