Item 12602
 
Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this wonderful 2 Gallon Crock made and stamped by "Haxstun, Ottman & Co., Fort Edward, N.Y."
 
This is the stamp of Andrew K. Haxstun and William and Gilbert Ottman who ran the company from 1867-1872 (William Ketchum, Jr., American Stoneware, p. 68).
 
This beauty sports the Pottery Stamp with Cobalt Wash, and a Blue Bird on a Branch Decoration.  The decorator got carried away with dots on the bird and the branch!  Good for us!  This woodland scene is executed with a slip cup in shiny cobalt blue.  Measures 9" tall and 10" wide across the top.  
 
Excellent Condition.  An 1/8" nibble on the left handle, four small rust stains, and traces of water glass staining from use.  That's it!  No rim or base chips, hairlines, cracks, or restoration.  A stone ping on the inside bottom in the making.
