Jug still bank c. 19th century

This anonymous ceramic jug still bank, created in the 19th century, is an example of folk art. It is a simple yet functional object that served a practical purpose as a piggy bank while also reflecting the aesthetic sensibilities of the time. The piece features a characteristic brown and white glaze and a simple, utilitarian form, common in utilitarian pottery from the 19th century. The bank is now part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art's collection, showcasing the diverse range of folk art created in the United States.
