Western Stoneware Foot Warmer.


Western Stoneware Foot Warmer
Showing Western Stoneware Mark With Maple Leaf.

Maybe not a bottle, but close enough for me.  It is broken, but a lot of it is there.


I posted a stoneware foot warmer that I found a few days ago.  I cleaned it off enough to see the hallmark including the label Western Stoneware on a maple leaf.

After Some Cleaning the
Western Stoneware Mark Was Visible.

 

Foot warmers were filled with hot water or coals or something.  The one I found has a small hole, which I presume is for adding water.

In 1906 the Western Stoneware Co. was formed by the merging of seven different stoneware and pottery companies, these companies were now known as Western Stoneware Co. Plants One Through Seven. This new company kept the same style of maple leaf logo that the Monmouth Pottery Company had used previously. It just seemed to fit as the city of Monmouth is known for it's maple trees and is often referred to as "Maple City". Many of the early Western Stoneware vessels such as crocks and jugs were marked with the maple leaf logo that now read: Western Stoneware Co. Plant 1 or 2 or whatever number of the seven plants that had produced it.
