Item 11854
 
Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this Gorgeous 1 Gallon Stoneware Cake Crock with Tulips. 
 
The form and decoration make it easy to attribute this crock to Richard Remmey who ran the family pottery in Philadelphia from the 1860's until the turn of the century (Phil Shaltenbrand, Big Ware Turners, pp. 8-10).
 
Circa 1860, this beauty features a Tooled Squared Rim and Shoulder, and Two Large Brushed Cobalt Tulips on Each Side. Each tulips has 6-8 leaves and a blossom with 4-5 petals.  Additional cobalt accent and loops at the handles.  Measures 5 1/4" tall and 8 1/2" across the top.
 
Very Good Condition.  Two chips inside the rim (3/8", 3/4"), a 3/8" flake outside the rim, and a 1 1/4" hairline from the rim by one handle (closeup). No base chips, cracks, stains, or restoration.
