$841.50
RARE 3G Fort Edward Stoneware Co. Stoneware Crock Jug 19th Century Cobalt Slip Decorated

Great piece. Exceptionally rare to find a piece by Fort Edward Stoneware Co. in this condition. 

A little history. Looks like also known as Haxstun & Co. which is a more common mark. 
In 1874 Andrew K. Haxstun purchased land along the Champlain Canal on the east side of Broadway at the intersection of the Argyle Road (the present Route 197), in the southern part of the village.16 The following year he erected a three-story structure, 100 feet by 50 feet, with storage sheds on one side. This pottery, of massive woodenframe construction, stood until it was demolished in 1954. Haxstun's firm, which soon became another major producer of stoneware, was known both as "Haxstun and Company" and the "Fort Edward Stoneware Company." In 1875 the Census industrial schedule indicated that Haxstun and Company owned real estate worth $10,000, tools and machinery worth $4,500; had 300 tons of clay valued at $2,100 and two kilns. It employed 12 men and three boys. No water power was available at this location, so only steam and horsepower were used. The 1880 Census indicated that Haxstun had invested $20,000 capital in this venture. Their marks were "HAXSTUN & CO.l FORT EDWARD, NY" and "FORT EDWARD STONEWARE CO.l FORT EDWARD, NY."
