Item 12128
 
Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this 4 Gallon Stoneware Ovoid Jar with Tulips.
 
The form and decoration make it 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 1860, this beauty features a Semi-Ovoid Form, Tall Tooled Rim and Shoulder, Applied Handles with Cobalt Accents, Brushed Cobalt Tulip Vining around the Middle.  Bright and shiny cobalt.  Measures 15 1/4" tall and 10 1/2" wide across the top.
 
Good Condition.  Three small chips inside the rim (1/4" to 3/8"), chips around the outside of the rim as shown, and a stained vertical hairline on one side at the bottom (closeup). No base chips, cracks, or restoration.
