This 1974 Daniel Boone Kentucky Straight Bourbon jug is a rugged piece of Americana that perfectly captures the spirit of the frontier. Produced as a commemorative stoneware vessel for the 11-D16 series, it features a classic two-tone aesthetic with a warm cream base and a deep tobacco-brown glazed shoulder. The front is emblazoned with a bold graphic of the legendary frontiersman himself, complete with his iconic coonskin cap. The heavy stoneware construction and functional finger loop handle provide a tactile connection to the heritage of Kentucky distilling, making it a standout addition to any barware collection or rustic display.

This jug remains in very good condition, retaining its original cork that speaks to its authenticity and history. The stoneware has aged beautifully, maintaining a clean finish with no significant chips or cracks. It is an excellent choice for a lodge-style study or a curated shelf of vintage advertising. While the cork remains firmly in place to preserve the original integrity of the piece, the jug’s silhouette and historical subject matter make it a conversation-starting object for those who appreciate folk-hero memorabilia and the art of traditional American ceramics. Imagine this piece styled on a reclaimed wood mantle alongside vintage brass antlers or a collection of leather-bound books.

Details: Measures about 7" in height by 4.25" wide. Very good condition. I did not take the cork out, nor do I know if it will come out.
