Crock
Object/Artifact
A thrown brown Albany slip glazed stoneware crock manufactured by an unknown manufacturer. Both the exterior, rim and the interior have a dark brown Albany slip glaze.The rim is flattened and progresses inward to the bottom well. The rim rolls to the exterior with a double bead. The lug handles are formed of cupped semi-rounds attached along the length, one at each side of the crock with an incised line underneath. The sides progress in a shouldered curve to the base which has a bead around, flamed glaze loss at six spots, thence to the bottom which is unglazed and flat. The bottom shows marks of a twisted wire release from the clay block.
