Collection of Vintage Salt-Glazed Stoneware Crocks

This is a grouping of four vintage American stoneware crocks of varying sizes and styles, typical of domestic utilitarian pottery from the late 19th to early 20th centuries. The largest vessel is a tall, white salt-glazed open crock with a dark brown Albany-slip interior. Adjacent to it are two medium-sized crocks; one features a two-tone design with a rich brown glaze on the upper shoulder and a cream base, topped with a contemporary or replacement clear glass lid. The other medium crock is a classic cylindrical form with integrated handles and a matching stoneware lid, showing significant surface dirt and possible mineral deposits. A smaller, shallow stoneware bowl with a dark rim sits in the foreground, currently filled with what appears to be gravel or potting soil. The pieces exhibit a salt-glazed finish, characterized by a 'pitted' or orange-peel texture. Condition varies across the set: the lidded stoneware crock shows heavy surface grim and staining, while the glass-lidded piece appears relatively cleaner but with visible surface wear and scuffing on the cream base. The largest open crock shows minor rim chips common for its age. These items represent classic mid-western or eastern US pottery manufacturing, though specific maker's marks are not visible from this angle. Their heavy construction and thick walls indicate durable craftsmanship intended for food preservation such as pickling or salted meats.
