Listers -
I'm looking for information on olive-glazed jugs or crocks. The
fragments I recovered are from a mining camp site in northeastern
Washington dating from 1908-1919. I have most of the base and the
sides (which don't have any maker's marks), but am lacking the top.
The exterior is white and the interior is olive, not the more common
brown, but a deep, glassy olive. I've checked the literature, but
can't find any info on this type of vessel. I suspect that the
interior glaze is unusual, and may be a local stylistic (or
functional?) variation. If anyone has any experience with this type
of artifact, I'd appreciate the help. Thanks again!
