Item 13264
 
Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this early 1 Gallon Decorated Stoneware Cake Crock.
 
Its decoration indicates that it was made by Elisha B. Hyssong of Cassville, Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania.  He founded the pottery in 1847 and the family ran it until 1912 (Phil Shaltenbrand, Big Ware Turners, p. 74). 
 
Circa 1850, this beauty features a Square Rim and Shoulder, Applied Handles with Cobalt Accent at the Terminals, and a Brushed Cobalt Vine with Two Blossoms on Each Side.  Measures 6 1/4" tall and 9 1/4" across the top.
 
Excellent Condition.  Three 1/8" nibbles and a 1/4" chip outside the rim, and a 1/4" chip on one handle.  That's it!  No inner rim or base chips, hairlines, cracks, stains, or restoration.
