Collection of Trio of Vintage Stoneware Crocks
This set consists of three distinct pieces of American-style utility stoneware. The largest item is a cylindrical open crock featuring a classic 'two-tone' aesthetic, with a dark Albany-style salt glaze on the upper third and interior, transitioning to a light buff-colored Bristol glaze on the lower body. It shows a visible vertical hairline fracture on the front left. The second piece is a handled shoulder jug or bean pot with a wide flared rim, finished with a deep mahogany-brown glaze over a cream salt-glaze base. The third and smallest piece is a lidded mustard or jam jar, displaying a reverse color palette with a tan topside and a dark brown base. All pieces are constructed from heavy, dense clay characteristic of the late 19th to early 20th century (c. 1890-1930). Physically, they exhibit typical manufacturing imperfections such as glaze pops and minor pitting. The condition varies from fair to good, with some surface grime, shelf wear on the unglazed bottoms, and the aforementioned crack in the largest crock. No visible maker's marks are discernible from the primary view, though the style is consistent with Midwestern potteries such as Red Wing or Western Stoneware.
