Sold by Art Antiques Michigan

You don’t come across early labeled firkins very often. This one happens to be an outstanding example of one. It is a pristine piece in every way, from the construction to the paint. The firkin is profusely decorated with black painted scroll design. Labeled on the front and back C.TARTAR. The writing on the back is faded. The lid is initialed J.C.L and the lid is also impressed with J. Proctor Waterford ME. Overall condition of the firkin and the paint is excellent. The quality of this piece is worthy of a museum and would be a highlight of any personal collection. It is a large piece measuring 13 inches tall. The diameter across the top is 13 1/4 inches and the diameter across the bottom is 14 inches. Great oxidation under the lid. More photos available
