<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KevinM, post: 144596, member: 1899&quot;]This is an old moonshine 1/2 gallon beehive brown glazed (inside and out) stoneware jug that I purchased a couple of days ago and was looking for some additional information on.</p><p><br /></p><p>The jug measures about 6 3/4&quot; in height and has about a 6 1/4&quot; diameter on the bottom and the bottom does not have any brown glaze on it. The jug has a folk art painting on it depicting a barefoot bearded man with a hat and a rifle or shotgun hunting in the mountains with his dog.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the upper portion of the jug it is stamped with the letter &quot;M&quot;. The cork was inside the jug when I purchased the jug and when I pulled it out there was only portion of the cork left so I put that back into the top of the jug.</p><p><br /></p><p>I live in the Washington DC area about 90 Miles from West Virginia, Appalachian Mountains where possibly a mountain scene similar to this would have been used or perhaps from somewhere else.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think this jug was made in the late 1800&#039;s or early 1900&#039;s. I&#039;m not sure when the folk art painted scene was painted on the jug. I&#039;m also not sure what the letter &quot;M&quot; represents on the jug (Perhaps &quot;Moonshine&quot; &quot;Medium&quot; the makers initial or something else).</p><p><br /></p><p>Does anyone know where this jug was made, when it was made, what the letter &quot;M&quot; represents or when the folk art might have been painted on it?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks!</p><p>Kevin</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]38640[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]38641[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]38642[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]38643[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]38644[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]38645[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]38646[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]38647[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]38648[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
