Red Sugar Firkin

This fabulous 19th C. New England firkin still retains it's original vibrant red painted surface and stencilling for "Powdered Sugar". Made by G. Wilder & Son, So. Hingham, Mass. Completely original without repairs. There has been some shrinkage due to age which has allowed one of the lower bands to slip down. But that is a common problem with most firkins that have not been "over-painted". Great for anyone who collects stencilled pantries and firkins. This one measures 12-1/2" tall (not counting the bail handle) with a base diameter of 12" and a lid diameter or 11-1/2". Great for stacking or just displayed by itself!
