Item 2754
 
Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this Rare 1 Gallon Crock made for "R. Brueckmann & Co., Phila." 
 
It was likely made by Richard Remmey who made stoneware in Philadelphia at the family pottery from the 1860's to the turn of the century (Phil Shaltenbrand, Big Ware Turners, pp. 8-9).
 
This crock is unusual because Remmey did not make many merchant crock and when he did he impressed them rather than stamp them. 
 
This beauty features the Small Size, Top and Bottom Stripe, and the Stenciled Advertising.   Very nice contrast between the cobalt and the gray background clay.  Measures 8" tall and 7 1/2" wide.  
 
Very Good Condition.  A thin water glass stripe inside from use, two 1/4" chips on the left handle and two on the right (1/4", 1/2"), a 3/8" chip at the base, and a 3" hairline on the back bottom that wraps under 3" and them moves left and right 3" (closeup).  No rim chips or restoration.
