Item 7708
 
Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this wonderful 5 Gallon Crock made and stamped by "Satterlee & Mory, Fort Edward, N.Y."
 
This is the stamp of George Satterlee and Michael Mory who ran this pottery together from 1859-1885 (William Ketchum, Jr., American Stoneware, p. 68).
 
This beauty sports a Semi-Squared Rim, Pottery Stamp with Cobalt Wash, and a Large Brushed Cobalt Bird on a Plume Decoration.  The bird is 9" from the tip of its beak to the tip of its tail.  Strong and shiny cobalt throughout the decoration.  Measures 12" tall and 12 1/2' wide across the top.
 
Excellent Condition.  A 3/16" flake under the left handle, four small Y-shaped surface craze lines on the back (closeup of 1), and scattered small strains.  That's it!  No rim or base chips, hairlines,  cracks, or restoration.   Remarkable for a straight-sided, open crock of this size!
