Item 9437
 
Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this wonderful 1 Gallon Lidded Cake Crock with Leaf Garland. 
 
It is easy to attribute this crock to Richard Remmey who ran the family pottery in Philadelphia from the 1860's until the turn of the century (Phil Shaltenbrand, Big Ware Turners, pp. 8-10). 
 
Circa 1870, this beauty features a Tooled Semi-Squared Rim, Applied Ridged Handles, Two Brushed Cobalt Leaves on Each Side, and Additional Cobalt Accent on the Handles that Includes Another Leave Underneath Each.  Measures 4 3/4" tall and 8 1/2" wide across the top.  
 
The lid has the appropriate one with the correct decoration for this crock, but is a slightly lighter gray than the base.   It has cobalt around the knob and 5 leaves around the edge like the ones under the handles of the base.
 
The base is in Very Good Condition. Two chips inside the rim (1/4", 1/2"), one on top (1/2"), and one outside (1/4").  No base chips, hairlines, cracks, stains, or restoration.  The lid is in Good Condition with chips on the knob and chips around the seating ring on the underside (closepup).  No outer edge chips, hairlines, cracks, or restoration.
