So I was watching American Pickers tonight like usual and was intrigued when they started talking about a company named Anna Pottery that existed in Illinois from 1859-1896. Among making famously styled stonewear pigs with railroad maps on them, they are very well known for making highly collectable stonewear jugs with beautiful, intricate snakes on them. The last colored jug I have seen two examples of in online auctions....one went for $45,000....the other $50,600. So be on the lookout for these!
