Antique Tiger 1870 F. Wright & Son Taunton MA Stone Ware Jug PT Barnum Circus. Simply amazing early Stone Ware Jug from F. Wright & Son of Taunton, MA. This particular jug has a tiger stenciled onto it. The exciting part other than the fact that myself and most people have never seen a tiger on a jug is how it got there. Its reported that they are connected to the inaugural PT Barnum Circus! The jug is in fantastic shape with no cracks. Only small chips around the mouth. Considering its 150 years old its amazing! Please view photos carefully for accurate condition portrayal. This is a superb and superbly rare early American Stone Ware jug. Chances are you will never see another one. If you collect Stone Ware dont pass this opportunity up. Perfect gift for the collector in your life. Now for the exciting part. Please note this information is not the gospel. This may or may not be the case but it sure makes sense. The origin of the Tiger on a piece of Massachusetts stoneware is unknown, but other circus animals (elephants, zebras, etc) have appeared on decorated pieces. On June 7, 1871, the first traveling circus performed in nearby Middleborough (MA), about 9 miles east of Taunton. The grand spectacle was none other than P. T Barnum’s Grand Traveling Museum, Menagerie, Caravan & Hippodrome in its very first year of operation. Barnum’s “Menagerie” included a number of exotic caged animals including Bengal Tigers, Leopards, Panthers and Jaguars.
