Richey & Hamilton Platine. W. VA Cobalt decorated wax sealer canning crock

Cobalt-Decorated Stoneware Canning Jar, Stenciled RICHEY & HAMILTON. About 7 3/4 tall. Tooled shoudler and rounded rim. Some white on the cobalt stencilled banner. This antique canning jar is a wax lid canning crock from about 1875. Wax lid canning crocks can be hard to find because not many survived during this period— the flaw of the wax lids is that the crocks usually broke trying to open it. This crock has a lip around the mouth to hold a metal lid that is placed on the top and then wax was poured into the indention to seal the jar. There is a crack coming up at of the base. If there is any such thing as a’solid crack’, this would be it. Photos 6 & 7. One small nick inside- see photos 10 & 11.
