Think about the myriad of things that could’ve happened to this Haxstun, Ottman and Co. Edward, NY antique 4-gallon stoneware crock in the 150 to 170 years since its initial realization and you’ll agree that a few tiny, barely noticeable nicks on the sides of its upper, round rim and a small glaze flake on its vertical sidewall, don’t mar or depreciate it much. It has great, hand decorated cobalt blue slip glaze decoration, very aggressively realized and covering almost the entirety of the large crock’s sidewall. Pictured are a meandering, fluttering butterfly and a large, blooming flower, running diagonally across its surface, all hand painted with cobalt blue slip glaze, all done with most likely a single index finger dipped in blue slip. There’s also the faintest, quite small’bruise’ and associated glaze nick found on the crock’s sidewall in the center of the back of the crock.
