Molasses Jug

Samuel Faigin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a stoneware jug with a handle on its left side and a narrow spout on the top. The jug is primarily brown with hints of blue and green tones, including a blue floral design on its front. Positioned towards the right side, the base is broad and tapers upwards to the spout. The surface appears textured and slightly worn, with a numeral "2" and a maker's mark visible near the neck.
