Scarce Salt-Glazed Stoneware Jug, Stamped "T.W. CRAVEN," Thomas Wesley Craven (1829-1858), Randolph or Moore County, NC, circa 1855, small-sized, semi-ovoid jug with rounded mouth and thin strap handle, impressed "T.W. CRAVEN" on the reverse. Thomas Wesley Craven was the brother of the more-well-known Jacob Dorris Craven (1827-1895), whose stoneware is found with frequency. T.W. Craven's stoneware is considered scarce as this member of the family potting dynasty only lived to the age of twenty-nine. Excellent condition with a minor base chip and tiny base nick. H 9 1/2".
