A handsome antique American salt-glazed stoneware crock or jar, featuring a warm tan glaze with cobalt blue brushed floral or foliate decoration around the body. The piece has a thick rolled rim, incised shoulder lines, and a rounded ovoid form with a narrow foot. The surface shows desirable age-related wear, kiln speckling, glaze texture, small glaze losses, firing imperfections, and scattered marks consistent with utilitarian stoneware. The underside shows wear and a visible crack, as photographed. A decorative country primitive piece with strong visual appeal, suitable for display in a collection of early American stoneware, farmhouse antiques, or folk pottery. Approx. dimensions (in): 7.25 x 5.5 x 5.5.
