on the Farm – What is it?
This is an Old Stoneware Crock from the 1800ss. Estimated Retail Value $200. Many different potteries used all kinds of clays and glazes. Something you may nt know – the potteries used to have children paint primitive designs and marks on the crocks usually in blue. Birds and flowers are very popular. Most of these were very simple – like the one on this crock. There are many different styles and each served a special purpose. This one was probably used for pickled eggs. Yes – in the old days people used to pickle their eggs instead of refrigerating them because there were no refrigerators. These are very collectible at this time. Do you remember ever eating a pickled egg 20 years ago – not many of them around today? Call Holly Hill Antiques 804-695-1146 or call the comments line at GLO-Clips and tell us your story..
