Antique 2 Gallon Stoneware Crock circa 1860 with Cobalt DecorationWhat a fantastic stoneware crock, circa1860, boasting Spencerian script with the number 2 in gorgeous cobalt. The deep elephant grey hue is just fabulous and the applied mule ear handles on each side are intact without any chips to report. There is one small crack on the left side of the handle measuring about 1 4", but looks like this was part of the applied process. Please see image 3. There is an incised decorative line about 2 1 2" from the top
