Moses Farrar, St Johns Lower Canada, 1 Gal
Canadian. 1841-45. Moses Farrar established Canada's first stoneware pottery in St. Johns Lower Canada in 1841.

The form of this 1 gal jar is unusual and may have been for beans. There are three examples of this jar known, including one in the collection of the McCord Museum in Montreal.
