Item 8985
 
Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this wonderful 4 Gallon Crock whose decoration indicates that it was made by the Edmands pottery. 
 
Edward and Thomas Edmands ran the pottery in Charlestown, Massachusetts from 1852-1868 (William Ketchum, Jr., American Stoneware, p. 49).
 
This beauty features a Wide Tooled Rim, Applied Handles, and a Large Wreath Decoration.  This unusual decoration is executed with a slip cup in bright and shiny cobalt.  Overall, a simple, but impressive decoration! Measures 11" tall and 12" wide across the top. 
 
Very Good Condition.  A 1/4" chip inside the rim in the middle of the back creating a near invisible hairline halfway down (to the pen in the closeup).  No other apologies.
