chamber pot - 9/4/2008 3:42:13 PM    cobaltbot Posts: 1693 Joined: 4/7/2006 From: Delta, PA Status: offline Back again to the Scout cabin dump I unearthed some type of stoneware.  I knew it couldn't possibly be whole since this dump is 90% slate rocks.  I hesitated to take this dig pic cuz usualy that's the kiss of death leading to something being broke for sure or it turning out to be a 60's Kentucky fried chicken bucket or something!  Nope, just a chamber pot, but at least it was whole.

RE: chamber pot - 9/4/2008 4:19:10 PM    bottlediger Posts: 1453 Joined: 2/19/2006 From: York Pa Status: offline Hard to say, safest bet would be to call it a multipurpose crock. Its most likly glazed on the inside to hold liquid. Take care buddie _____________________________ Professional Tumbling Services Digger Ry Style My Tumbling Page (in reply to cobaltbot) Post #: 5

RE: chamber pot - 9/4/2008 8:44:37 PM    beendiggin Posts: 789 Joined: 6/30/2005 Status: offline I looked up your crock in a stoneware book I have, found about 4 examples of this shape and style and it is referred to as a milk crock.  I can't tell you much more other than it seems to date to the 1870's.  Nice find, it's hard to find decent stoneware.  I'd  try researching milk crocks.
