Notes
According to company invoices in the Ballard Pottery Company Collection at the University of Vermont Special Collections, this type of jar was sold by Ballard, F. Woodworth's predecessor, as a lidded "preserve jar," and it was produced in 1/2 to 4 gallon sizes. This jar presumably was sold with a lid, no longer present.
