An 1820s South Carolina estate itemized “50 Gallons Landrum Stone Ware.” The lot appears to have been comprised of jugs, jars and chamber pots sold at a rate of thirty-one cents per gallon. Which Landrum pottery? (Pottersville, Reverend John Landrum, et cetera.)
The decedent appears to have been a local purveyor of spirits, and coincidentally, many who purchased stoneware jugs also purchased whiskey at the advertised estate sale.
