The
Georgia
Mini
Jug
Story:

Here’s proof that the mini jug bearing the
brand name, which endured through the
1950s, is from Cairo, Ga.’s Roddenbery
plant. Other collectors thought it had come
from Ala. [Photo courtesy of Jim & Pattey

During the latter part of the 19th century and into the first quarter of the 20th, one way
of advertising a business was to give away sample products bearing the firm’s name.
Patrons took home trade cards,
calendars, thermometers, miniature bottles
and ceramic containers, most bearing the
company name, address and city of origin.
Even today’s companies continue that
tradition, mainly in the forms of calendars.
The small ceramic containers were
manufactured mostly in the shapes of jugs,
although other utilitarian ware such as tiny
water pitchers are known. The mini jugs
advertised saloons, groceries, hotels, drug
stores, vinegar works and even the brands
of liquid samples they sometimes carried.
After acquiring eight mini jugs from
Augusta, Georgia over the last few years,
this writer wondered just how many existed
from his home state. He contacted several The Georgia min jug portion of Bill Wrenn’s
collectors who shared information from outstanding collection. [Photo by Bill

able to document 225 different.
Mini jugs are generally about 3-1/4 inches in height or less.
There are other, smallish jugs the writer likes to call “semi-minis”
about 5-1/4 inches in height. Georgia examples include Augusta’s
souvenir 1888 Exposition jug, another from Stevens Bros. Pottery
in Baldwin County and another from Columbus. There may be
more, but that’s another story.
Majority of mini jugs are sealed with a modified Albany slip
from the top of the spout about halfway down the side, resulting
in various shades of brown (tan, chocolate). The bottom half is
sealed with a clear glaze placed over the black or blue ink-stenciled
message. It’s probably a Bristol slip, which turns white when fired.
“Scratch” jugs are more labor intensive. Most are glazed with
Albany slip, the brown clay sealant from that section of New York
state. While the glaze is still wet, a sharp-pointed instrument such
as a nail is used to inscribe the message after which the jug is
placed inside the kiln and fired. The scratched portion stands out
in yellowish-white against a dark brown background.
Mini jugs contained a variety of liquids, including cider, vinegar
and, of course, whiskey, while some contained nothing at all. The
spouts were plugged with tiny corks, while in the author’s Augusta
collection is one plugged with clay. It was not intended to be filled
with anything although it touts “Moss Rose” whiskey from the
Rose Distillery in Atlanta.
Mini jugs likely were given away or sold as souvenirs to tourists
or visitors. Mini jugs aren’t limited to the state’s major cities of
Atlanta, Augusta, Columbus, Macon and Savannah, but hail from
a variety of smaller communities, some of which cannot be located
on today’s maps.
Pottery representatives must have had remarkable powers of
persuasion to talk a grocer in Leaf, Georgia into buying mini jugs.
Leaf, by the way, is still on the map. Not on the map are Harmony
Grove, Nyson, Parkman, Robinson, Silver Shoal and Webbsville,
but mini jugs exist from those places.
Check out the state listing accompanying this article. The author
would like to hear from collectors having different mini jugs from
cities, towns and communities or from businesses other than those
listed.
One of the more unusual mini jugs is a scratch jug inscribed

Store / G.W. O’Connor. There is no city name, but there is only
one Forest City Gun Club and it’s in Savannah.
The club was founded in 1883 and is the oldest and largest
continuously operated skeet, trap and sporting clays club in
America, according to its history carried at
www.forestcitygunclub.com. It boasts 26 fields, a 40-acre lake, a
grand clubhouse and other amenities on its 537 acres.
Yet another interesting example is a scratch jug inscribed
Compliments of / Arlington Hotel Bar / Moss Rose / Augusta, Ga.
The Arlington Hotel, grand late Victorian Age edifice complete
with turrets, stood at the corner of 8th and Broad streets. When the
original J.B. White department store down the block caught fire
in 1899, the blaze spread to the hotel. As the conflagration raged,
many men were seen running into the hotel bar and emerging
with bottles of booze. Police soon called a halt, but the author
likes to think that his mini jug, also called a “nip,” was among
the pilfered items.
Who manufactured these mini jugs?
“I think about 90 percent of them were made by the Bauer
Potteries in Paducah and Louisville, Kentucky,” said Jerry
McKinley of Shelbyville, Ky., an expert on pottery from his state.
“I know that the Congress Hall Saloon / Bainbridge, Ga., mini

jug was made by John Bauer in Louisville.
His brother, Andy, operated the Paducah
Pottery.”
Dr. William C. Ketchum Jr., in his book,
“American Pottery & Porcelain,” says
stoneware miniature jugs were made at
potteries from “New England west to
Missouri and south to Kentucky” between
1860 and 1910.
Chuck Neese, a self-described “jug bug”
from Pegram, Tenn., has done research to
confirm what McKinley said. Neese, author
of “The Whiskey Jug Book,” learned that
J. Andy Bauer bought the Frank Parham
Pottery in Paducah in 1886. Since 1875,
Bauer had worked with his brother John at
the latter’s pottery in Louisville “where they
made jugs, milk pans, fruit jars and
specialized in sample jugs (minis) for the
whiskey and vinegar trade.”
Neese said J. Andy Bauer employed 75
workers in the Paducah Pottery and kept
several salesmen on the road selling his
brown-glazed jugs, white mixing bowls and
milk jugs. Because of an asthmatic
condition, J. Andy Bauer moved his pottery
company to Los Angeles, Calif., in 1909,
later becoming famous for his line of
brightly colored dinnerware.
Confirmation of McKinley’s and Neese’s
research came to light in a wonderful book
titled “Bauer — Classic American Pottery”
by Mitch Tuchman (Chronicle Books, 275
Fifth Street, San Francisco, 1995). Among
the illustrations in the book’s first chapter
on the J.A. Bauer Pottery Company history
are photos of stenciled miniature
presentation jugs from both Paducah and
Louisville potteries. Profiles of 10 private
Bauer collections come later in the book
and the first of these from collector Ben S.
Wood III has a color photo of many
stenciled and scratch storage jars, large jugs
and, of course, mini jugs.
Another photo shows a wide variety of
Paducah Pottery wares, including Albany
slip-glazed face jugs!
Few mini jugs were signed by either
pottery, although longtime collector Bill
Wrenn of Watkinsville, Ga., has a
Louisville “Carnival” example stamped
John Bauer / Pottery / Louisville, Ky., on
the base. It features the head of a buck deer
and Oct. 8, 1899 (the “8” inside the spread
of the buck’s antlers) and its design outline
is similar to the Bainbridge saloon mini jug.
Potteries still abounded in the South
during what the writer believes was the
main merchant mini jug era from the 1890s
to the first quarter of the 20 th century,
notwithstanding incursions into the trade
by glass “fruit jars” and local and regional
efforts to establish prohibition. Introduction
of fruit jars forced many potteries to
abandon utilitarian forms and produce
roofing tiles, paving bricks or water and
sewer pipes or go out of business.
There were still-thriving potteries in
Georgia’s Crawford and Washington
counties, as well as others in the
northeastern section of the state, but no
mini jug documentation exists, as far as the
Bottles and Extras
author knows.
The writer believes some of his Augusta
minis may have been made by the Hahn
Pottery Works in North Augusta, South
Carolina across the Savannah River from
Augusta. He found a mini jug fragment in
a waster dump at the Hahn site.
Dr. John Burrison of Atlanta, author of
the folk pottery history of Georgia called
“Brothers in Clay,” never found even traces
of mini jugs being manufactured by any
Georgia pottery, he said. He was able to
explore waster dumps at many of those
potteries.
