Collection of Salt-Glazed American Stoneware Pottery

This collection consists of three distinct pieces of American stoneware pottery featuring a traditional salt-glazed finish. The set includes a straight-sided cylindrical crock in the foreground, a ovoid-shaped preserve jar to the left, and a classic whiskey-style jug with a strap handle to the right. All pieces exhibit a characteristic tan-to-beige 'orange peel' texture typical of high-fire sodium glazing. The cylindrical crock shows a prominent vertical crack or stabilizer line running down the rim, while the preserve jar has a finished rolled rim with some dark residue inside. The jug features a hand-applied strap handle and a narrow neck. These items reflect late 19th to early 20th-century utilitarian craftsmanship, likely produced in the American Midwest or Northeast. Condition is considered fair to good, with visible crazing, kiln drips, and minor structural integrity issues on the front crock. No maker's marks or capacity numbers are clearly visible in the current orientation, though the variations in glaze and form suggest standard production pieces of the era.
