Diminutive Stoneware O.K. Baking Powder Advertising Crock R. B. Davis Hoboken NJ

Description

Here's a great little stoneware vessel for your kitchen, baking, crock or advertising collection...
This early stoneware jug is marked "O. K. / Baking Co." which I believe was made by the R. B. Davis Company in Hoboken, NJ, a long running business founded around 1880.  (Dates of 1879 and 1881 have been seen in records, so 1880 is close enough.)  The company was noted for baking powder which was also known and advertised as "O.K. Baking Powder", as well cornstarch, cocomalt and other cooking ingredients.
The jug is circa 1880 - 1890 and it is in very good condition.  It is ovaloid in shape and diminutive in shape in size  measuring ~ 5 3/8" in height.  The base is ~ 3" in diameter, and the top measures ~ 4 1/2" OD.  Unfortunately the original lid is missing.
In addition to the name marking, there is a nice inscribed line ~ 1 3/16" below the top and just above the "O. K." marking.  This is shown in the accompanying photos.
There are no cracks, breaks, repairs, etc.  It displays well and has nice coloration.  The interior glaze is also in nice condition.
This is a rare piece of advertising and will fit in nicely with almost any early earthenware, stoneware, or pottery collection, as well as a country store, kitchen, baking or advertising collection.
