It’s a 3-gallon vessel, marked with the number “3” above a hand-painted cobalt blue floral bouquet.
The crock is a classic example of salt-glazed stoneware, a technique where salt is tossed into the kiln at high heat to create a textured orange peel surface. It’s typically finished with an Albany Slip brown clay-based glaze, making it watertight and perfect for preserving food. See less
