Approximately 1 ½ Gallon Ovoid Crock by an Unknown Maker, circa 1830. With the exception of a stone ping in the firing and a very slight glaze spider, this Ovoid is in Very Good Condition. The Handles have Very Strong Brushed Cobalt Blue arounf the section molded into the side. The Form reminds me of Connecticut Ovoids, but these pieces are very hard to identify with any marker’s mark. It measures 10” in height, 8 ½” in diameter at its widest point – 7 ¾” at the top and 5 ½” at the base. Please examine the photos for an overall look at this piece. It’s a Very Nice Accent Ovoid.

Early Earthenware Pot perhaps used for holding food stuffs or storage, circa Mid-19^th Century. Earthenware was fired at a lower heat than stoneware and did not fuse, so it was left permeable. Consequently, a heavy glaze incorporating lead was used on the inside, leading to serious health problems. Different clays and higher degrees of firing allowed stoneware to fuse and become impermeable and the lighter salt glazes were used to expedite cleaning. This Earthenware Pot is a fine example of these early containers which are sometimes found in early estates. It is well made and displays the heavy glaze on the inside. Since it is not blackened on the bottom from cooking, it was probably used for storage. The exterior shows the varying color patterns from uneven firing and there are only some tiny flecks off the exterior. Diameter 6 3/4”; height 6”. Nice Form.
