This beautiful salt glaze blue and white stoneware Crock (with hotsell a wood lid and bale) with Apricots and Honeycomb pattern is probably between 150 and 200 years old. Butter is embossed on the outside of the crock. There is a chip that can be seen in the last two photographs. Salt glaze was achieved by throwing warm table salt into a kiln at peak temperatures which would vaporize over the stacked forms and make a shiny transparent glaze. Cobalt blue was one of the few compounds able to withstand the high firing intensities. This would perfect for a farmhouse kitchen or display.

Antique and vintage stoneware items are not new and may show their age imperfections such as wear, pitting in the pottery, hairline fractures, chips/nicks and some crazing. Occasionally you might notice restorations, replacement parts and/or repairs. These stoneware pieces were not resistant to chips and cracks resulting from the casual handling they received in busy households. Due to the process at the time that these were made, you might notice imperfections in the glazing or the pieces themselves. This was not uncommon and is typical of these old stoneware pieces. We make every effort to accurately represent each item through our photographs.
