Item 5140
 
Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this most unusual 2 Gallon Crock with Folky Flower.
 
Circa 1880 and hailing from the Midwest, this beauty features a "2" Capacity Number Flanked by Horizontal Lines with Four Dots Above and Five Below, and a Flower with Four Leaves on their Sides with a Loopy Stem running to a Blossom with Four Petals.   Strong cobalt throughout the decoration.  Folky!
 
Curious-- what do you suppose the precise dot count on either side of the capacity number signifies?  
 
Very Good Condition.  A 1/4" chip on the underside of the right handle, and some staining from use.  No rim or base chips, hairlines, cracks, or restoration.
