Item 11204
 
Coming to  you from Doc's Crocks is this rare 4 Gallon Stoneware Crock with Star from Ohio.
 
Circa 1870, this beauty features a Five-Pointed Star.  The star has been scribed into the clay and all the points filled with impressed dots.  The center of the star has criss-crossed lines with cobalt dots and the entire star is outlined with fine cobalt dots.  Not something I have ever seen before.  The star is 5" wide and 4 1/2" tall.  The entire crock is 11 1/4" tall and 11 1/4" wide across the top. 
 
Good Condition.  Some water glass rings inside and some staining outside from use.  A 2 1/2" amateur chip restoration on the rim behind the left ear and a 3 1/2" one in front with a 3" line below (closeup). No base chips, cracks, or restoration.
