Item 12197
 
Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this wonderful 2 Gallon Stoneware Crock with Chicken Pecking Corn.
 
This is likely the work of Samuel Brady and John J. Ryan who ran their pottery in Ellenville, N.Y. from 1878-1897 (William Ketchum, Jr., American Stoneware , p. 66).
 
This beauty features a Classic Chicken Pecking Corn Decoration.  The decoration is executed with shiny cobalt. The chicken is nice being centered and accented with dots.  There are 12 pieces of corn too! (apparently I do not have enough to do!).  Measures 9 1/2" tall and 9 12" wide across the top.
 
"Gertrude" was the name of the chicken that posed for this crock.  Unfortunately, she met her demise on July 7, 1881 when she became Sunday dinner!
 
Excellent Condition. Four small chips on the rim (1/4" to 3/8") not on the front.  That's it!  No inner rim or base chips, hairlines, cracks, stains, or restoration.
