Unusual Two-Gallon Stoneware Churn, Stamped "SMITH & DAY / NORWALK", CT origin, circa 1840, tapered churn with tooled shoulder and applied lug handles, featuring cobalt highlights to the maker's mark and handle terminals. A difficult-to-find form for this maker. Excellent, essentially as-made condition with a minor in-the-firing iron ping to front.
