Antique 2-Gallon Stoneware Crock – Brown & Beige Glaze

Description :
A handsome early 20th-century two-tone stoneware crock featuring a rich Albany slip brown glaze over a natural salt-glazed base.

The crock has a smooth rolled rim and uniform cylindrical shape, showing minor wear consistent with age. Once used for preserving pickles, butter, or other goods, it now makes an excellent decorative storage piece or rustic farmhouse planter.
