Question:

Hello, again!

I have this gray, stoneware beehive jug (pictured), but I don’t know what is the “generic” name (or type of jug it’s commonly called).  It is 13.5″ high, including the handle.  It has no marks at all, so I don’t know who made it; if you have any idea, I’m willing to listen!  And, of course–any clues as to its value?

Thanks!

 

Answer:

I have not see this type of jug with two spouts.  With one spout, they call it a Monkey jug.  With this being said, I would still call it a Monkey jug even, with the two spouts.  As far as value goes.  With out advertising or a decoration, I would think $30 to $50 or so.  Al Kohlman
