Auction 26 - Lots 71 to 80

71	W. Brunet & Cie, St. Roch. This one gallon druggist jug has a most unusual feature. Incised designs on Canadian stoneware are extremely rare. This piece has a mortar and pestle incised beneath the writing making an otherwise unremarkable crock extraordinary! Near mint with only minor imperfections. Wonderful! Opening Bid: $200 Estimated Range: $300-400 Sold for $200.
72	Flack and Van Arsdale Bird Jug. The Flack & Van Arsdale potters of Cornwall, Ontario are famous for their birds. They used at least two designs - both of which are featured in this sale. This two gallon jug is not makers' marked but is certainly a Flack piece. The bird design is very well rendered. The crock itself is extremely clean. At the rear is a large crack which runs about 14 inches long. There is a base edge chip. This damage is not visible from the front so the crock displays perfectly mint. A very attractive piece. Opening Bid: $200 Estimated Range: $300-400 Lot not sold.
73	Flack and Van Arsdale Bird Open Crock. This two gallon open mouth Flack & Van Arsdale crock features their classic bird design. This design covers the face of this relatively small piece. There is an eight inch hairline at the front, visible in the photo. Small chip on the left handle. There is some heavy rust staining to the glaze. Still - this crock displays very well and looks fantastic! Opening Bid: $200 Estimated Range: $300-400 Sold for $275.
74	Flack and Van Arsdale Fern Crock. This two gallon cream pot from Flack & Van Arsdale has an unsual design that could be fern. Cetainly not one of their more common decorations. Nice form to this piece. Very good condition with some minor glaze crazing and a small 1 inch hairline in the base edge. Opening Bid: $200 Estimated Range: $300-400 Sold for $200.
75	Flack and Van Arsdale Double Flower. The Flack & Van Arsdale potters only used a handful of designs on their wares - typically birds or single flowers. This large 5 gallon jug sports an unusual double flower. Very clean looking jug with some condition issues. Pot stone to the left of the volume measure. Spider crack 2 1/2 inches in the lip. Long 10 inch crack at rear bottom. Good solid handle with one flake. Sounds terrible but the only significant damage is the crack at the rear. This crock is solid and looks very good with a great double flower. Opening Bid: $150 Estimated Range: $250-350 Lot not sold.
76	Louis Bourget, Quebec. A nice three gallon jug from Louis Bourget of Quebec City. Not the incising indicates Lower Quebec, meaning the lower town. The maker of the jug is likely one of the later Farrar firms but possibly Flack & Van Arsdale. The flower is rendered quite well for this type of design. Good condition. Pock marked around shoulder. Large lip chip right side and two smaller chips on the left. Several pot stones in the rear. Some glaze staining. A good piece with a great single flower. Opening Bid: $200 Estimated Range: $300-400 Lot not sold.
77	Lyman's, Clare and Co., Montreal. These little Lymans druggist crocks come in a wide range of sizes, colours and text. This one is a half gallon size. Overall excellent condition. Small chip inside lip, large pot stone at rear, 3 small chips near base edge. Good small size crock. Opening Bid: $125 Estimated Range: $200-300 Sold for $210.
78	Speckled Jug. Round the turn of the twentieth century, stoneware began to appear very uniform and boring. Not this piece. A later style - likely 1910 - this jug has the most wonderful speckled glaze. It appears blue over yellow. Near mint condition with one small chip on the sharp shoulder edge. Opening Bid: $150 Estimated Range: $200-300 Lot not sold.
79	Hart Bros and Lazier Cooler. This is a nice clean example of a 3 gallon cooler from Hart Brothers & Lazier of Belleville (Bay of Quinte Works). Near mint condition. Tight 1 1/2 inch hairline in the top rim. Several small chips in top rim. Minor stuff. The glaze is in excellent condition. A form you do not see too often. Opening Bid: $180 Estimated Range: $250-300 Lot not sold.
80	Pair of Brunelle Jugs. This lot contains two jugs from the Brunelle store in Trois Rivieres Quebec. The larger one gallon piece is near mint with just a few minor lip flakes. The smaller half gallon one has a very large flake off the top of mouth opposite where the handle connects. The half gallon also has a glazed flake on the base edge. Both display very clean. Opening Bid: $200 Estimated Range: $300-400 Lot not sold.
