Status: offline 		Here is some of my modest stoneware collection. I've had good luck finding crocks and jugs, much more so than bottles as a lot of pottery was made in this area. A few are dug, but most are from yard sales, and several I found in the crawl space of my previous house.

Hey Todd,

Thanks for showing us these beauties, I'd really encourage you to put up some more bigger, up close & personal photos. We're enjoying a wealth of great stoneware displays these days. That churn is a knockout, and to have found it in your own crawlspace makes it that much sweeter.

What size is the E.H. Merrill? It reminds me of an eared & cobalted vision of a Copenhagen Snuff, Pittsburgh jar I have.

Status: offline 		Hi Surfaceone, the Merrill crock is 10" tall and would probably hold 1-1.5 gallons. It has an inner lip for a lid, though the lid on mine is missing. These were made by at least several of the local potters and I haven't seen them from anywhere else but around here. I'm guessing they were used more for storage of dry stuff like flour and grains as most don't have the capacity marked on them.

As for closeups, neither my camera nor my photography skills are conducive to close ups.

Status: offline 		The beer is J.I. Marsh, Portsmouth, O. 32 oz with an interesting picture of what looks like a picnic table with a lot of people around it. I would guess it dates to around 1890-1910. I bought it for $2 at a garage sale with layers of paint on it with the hunch that there was something under the paint and that paid off.

Todd,..great stoneware! I love the lean on this crock! Thanks for sharing it...I have a nice cobalt decorated jug I found under a pal's barn while repairing the foundation...It had a corn cob tied on with ribbon for a cork...

Joe,

I've seen that often with the brown and white (or cream) jugs, but not as often on the older salt glaze.  Do you still have your jug?  Is it marked from PA?

Nice finds Joe. Burger's are quite popular and usually feature very distinct blue designs. I like that one, the 2 is nice addition to the decoration.
