LaPalm Enterprises Presents:
Offered here is an authentic antique American stoneware crock, featuring a blue crown “3” capacity mark and exhibiting the uneven, hand-poured glaze characteristic of early utilitarian stoneware production.
This is a true working crock, not a modern decorative reproduction.
Type: American stoneware crock
Capacity: 3 Gallons
Mark: Blue crown with “3”
Era: Early 20th century (circa 1906–1930s)
Construction: Thick-walled, high-fired stoneware

The weight, glaze pooling, and irregular application confirm hand-applied glazing and early kiln firing, consistent with American utilitarian stoneware of this period.
Crocks of this type were used for food storage, pickling, fermenting, and dairy, and were produced for durability rather than appearance. The uneven glaze flow and firing variation seen here are desirable indicators of age, not defects.
