Mid 19th century. Note: recognition of the prolific Cain pottery in East Tennessee was noted in published resources as early as 1909, wherein the publication "Historic Sullivan," Oliver Taylor states "Another factory which received national attention was the Cain pottery, located at Emanuel Church, and owned by two brothers, William M. and Abe Cain . . . It was operated about 1840 and, among other wares, souvenir jugs were made, many of which still exist."
PROVENANCE: Living Estate of JoAnn Newland, Arcadia, Tennessee.
CONDITION: Old chip to the outer rim resulting in an approximate 1" faint hairline to the inner rim. Minor glaze imperfections to the rim and upper shoulder in the band of decoration.
