Stoneware

[toddrandolph]

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.

E.H. Merrill from Summit Co, Ohio. This is an early one probably 1840-60. This form seems to have been common in this area

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.
