Item 11774
 
Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this 4 Gallon Crock made and stamped by "S. Hart, Fulton." 
 
This is the stamp of Samuel Hart who potted in Fulton, New York with this stamp from 1840-1876 (William Ketchum, Jr., American Stoneware, pp. 74-75).
 
This beauty features a Larger Size, the Pottery Stamp with Cobalt Swipe, Freehand Capacity Number "4", and a Double Dotted Lovebird Decoration. This style of bird was a signature decoration of this potter.  Bold cobalt!  Measures 11 1/2" tall and 12" wide across the top.

Very Good Visual Condition.  From what I can tell, the crock had a small chip on the left handle, some glaze flaking on the back and a short diagonal line through the decoration (closeup).  Most of the exterior has been professionally repainted.  I am selling it as a display piece.
