Charming small stoneware crock exemplifies traditional pantry utility with its warm, buff-toned natural glaze and coordinating lid topped with a simple hand-thrown finial. The vessel is fitted with an original metal wire bail handle featuring a comfortable, turned wooden grip for carrying. The crock measures approximately 5 7/8 in. H x 5 in. in diameter, with surface wear, minor firing imperfections, and light glaze crazing appropriate for its age.
