These earthenware stone flagons are typical of those used by many trades during the 19th century. They have stone coloured body, with light tan necks and shoulders, and usually range from half-gallon to two-gallons in size.
With special thanks to Stewart Hofgartner of "Below Stairs of Hungerford Antiques", who kindly let me photograph his extensive collection of local heritage items in 2009.
