This is a vintage Western Stoneware water cooler crock featuring the iconic blue and white spongeware pattern and the "Maple Leaf" logo from Monmouth, IL. Dating to the mid-century era, this piece includes a wire bail handle with a wooden grip and a metal spigot dispenser. Please note: The ceramic body is in good vintage condition with typical crazing, but the original lid has a significant hairline crack (see photos).
