Wonderful old blue & white, Daisy & Trellis Salt box
Rare antique glazed stoneware salt box with a delicate blue over white, Daisy and Trellis pattern with the word Salt in raised blue letters and still complete with its original lid. These old time salt boxes, or crocks as some call them, were hung on a wall or placed on the counter near the stove. There are a few small chips out of the bottom edge of the crock and a larger one on the lid, but considering the age of this salt box and how easy it is to drop and break one of these heavy but delicate lids, I think you'll go a long way before finding another as nice as this. The crock measures six inches in diameter and is just under six inches tall. No cracks and no heavy wear. Just a nice looking old antique salt crock for someone's collection.
Circa: early 1900's
Condition: used. antique. very good
Color: blue highlights on off-white
Manufacturer: unknown

Lovely Blue Onion Salt Box. Flow Blue on White
Blue Onion is just about my favorite all time pattern and and color combination and whoever made this fine looking antique Salt Box certainly did a fine job of applying the intricate Meissen pattern. The crock is about 100 years old, but has almost no damage of any kind. The worst I can find is a flea bite on the bottom edge. The flow blue coloring is bright and the white porcelain still has a brilliant shine. Another Salt Box or Crock designed to hang on the wall or to sit on the kitchen counter, it is clear that whoever owned this old piece took extra good care of it and that is lucky for us, because I think this is a real treasure. Measures roughly 6 x 6 inches.
