Item 4033
 
Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this Monumental 6 Gallon Crock made and stamped by the "New York Stoneware Company, Fort Edward, N.Y."
 
This company was in production in Fort Edward from 1859-1885.
 
This beauty features the Pottery Stamp with Cobalt Wash, and a Huge Freehand Floral with a Large Blossom, Buds, Leaves, and Tendrils Going Everywhere.  Masterful artistry and deep and shiny cobalt.  Measures 13 1/4" tall and 13 1/4" wide across the top.
 
I would say a Norton of Bennington, Vermont trained this artist or traveled west himself.  
 
Very Good Condition.  Two 5/8" chips on the rim, and very light staining.  An in-body "Y" hairline on the right side with a 4" arm to the left, 2" arm to the handle, and 6" arm below (closeup).  None reach top or bottom, and only about half the Y shows inside.  No inner rim or base chips, or restoration.
