The jar comes with a domed lid having three incised rings and a conical button finial. The inside of the jar is also glazed and has the same olive green coloring.

Actually the jar is made in such a fashion suggesting that it may have never had a lid. However, we are selling the piece as found with the lid it came with. The base of the pot is unglazed and shows the typical color of unglazed redware. It is incised with the words "Made in Stahl's pottery by Thomas Stahl 2/14/1940
