Stoneware

Antique high back blue and white stoneware salt crock. 'Daisy on Snowflakes' is the pattern name. This crock is shown in the 1981 book on Blue the book shows a picture of one on a catalog page with the same shape, lettering, coloring and daisy, but I cannot make out if the 'snowflake' pattern is on it since the catalog page is in black and white and not very clear. Most of the early American pottery companies made these utilitarian items including McCoy, Monmouth, Hull, Roseville, Weller, etc. This crock has the original lid and displays very well. It has a couple of minor flaws as expected for this type of early stoneware. It has a rough spot and a piece of clay waste near the back bottom area. It has one tiny fleabite near top backside rim. Two old small chips or gouges off underside of lid which don't show. The bottom dry area is a bit gouged/lumpy but it doesn't affect stance or even show. Some pinpops in the glaze and a tiny clay separation line on front. No cracks or hairlines and no major chips. The minor flaws are insignificant and do not devalue old stoneware such as this. Only large chips or cracks would devalue it. A rare piece to find with the original lid. Age est: late 1800's to 1910. Price is firm. 2/13scsr

Early Vintage Brown Pottery Casserole or Covered Bean Pot, this piece dates to around the 1920's to 1930's. It has a ringed pattern and is an early piece, unsure of who the maker is, although it could be an early Watt Pottery piece. It is 9 1/2 inches across, the bottom is 3 3/4 inches deep and when the lid is on it is about 7 inches tall. The bottom is nice and roomy so it could also be used without the lid for serving salad or a main dish. The lid is curved up fairly high and it would work well to serve a main dish such as chicken. It is in excellent condition, no chips but has two small flea bites on the outside edge and no cracks but does have a spot on the inside edge and on the bottom that occurred when it was made. Overall a very unique piece, perfect addition to your kitchen or collection. Please see our other listings for additional pieces of vintage pottery.

Cool antique stoneware lidded crock. Bail handle. It does have some minor chips; one that shows just a little on bottom rim edge; one small chip on lid which doesn't really show when it is on the jar since it fits down into the jar. It has some clay waste near bottom rim on one side, and has some other small chippies/gouges off bottom which don't show, see pics. None of the flaws are uncommon on antique stoneware and do not devalue it like a large noticeable chip or crack would. It displays well despite the minor flaws as you can see. This item stands 7 inches tall x 5.5 wide. My guess is Weir, but it could be any of the early American pottery companies. The older books on Red Wing shows this type of crock; they call it a 'refrigerator jar'. It was likely for jam/marmalade or honey. 6/12clest

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.

A wonderful, vintage stoneware jusg that stands 6 in. tall. The base measures 3.5 in. diameter. There is a number 10 on the bottom. No makers name or trademark.

Brown top and white below the shoulder.
