Niloak Art Pottery Mission Swirl Liquor Jug. Rare form. Condition is perfect, just mild usage. No chips, no lines, no repairs. Handle perfect, spout perfect. This piece was most likely a take-home piece, not a production piece, since it is not stamped with the Niloak impressed stamp. Instead, it has inscribed monogram, perhaps the potter. Also has inscribed date, 3/22/31. See the last photo. Also, hand inscribed between the handle and spout is the word RYE. Hence , it was made as a liq...uor jug. The interior has the glazed slip which characterizes it as Niloak. Niloak interior slip has speckles in it. This one has the typical speckles. A glazed interior means you can use it. Height is 7 inches. Diameter is 6 inches. This is a chance to buy a unique form in Niloak. From an estate in eastern Pa. . This came with a Niloak drinking tumbler, which does have the Niloak impressed mark. I am listing it separately because the swirl is quite different. These two pieces have been together in the collection for many years. Buy with confidence from Arlene Rabin Antiques, with over 43 years in business. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.
