ANTIQUE REDDISH BROWN glazed STONEWARE JUG incized ring OHIO FARM- $37
I have listed items for sale on eBay for over 15 years, and I thought I had “the basics” pretty much figured out. However, I learned how to do something this morning that will save a LOT of work while, at the same time, produce even better images. I’ll let you in on it, but first, let’s have a quick look at this delightful old country jug.
. . We got 4” of clean white snow last night. Since I don’t wear shoes except on Wednesdays, I found I could stand on the back step, lean out and place the item in the fresh clean show. Works like a charm.
Years ago, I could have “written” the name of the item right there in the snow, in yellow, without even getting off the step, but I’ve gotten older and can’t do that anymore.
