What fun seeing Alices great collection! She is always so full of interesting information! You do a great job with the photography. Thanks so much to you both!
Thank You Alice, stoneware crocks are one of my favorites! I don't have nice ones like the ones shown but still love them and use them at Christmas to put small trees in them! Thanks Anne for bringing us to visit Alice!
I'm addicted to stoneware too. Scored a big jug this week at a local antique shop. Didn't know that redware wasn't good for storing liquid. Interesting topic. Looking forward to the information on butter molds. Another favorite of mine. Blessings
I LOVE that blue stoneware, I love old crocks and bowls too. Those big jugs are so beautiful! I bet those were a pretty penny! Alice has so much beautiful stuff!
There is a pottery company in Cambridge, Wisconsin, Rowe pottery. Originally The potter was replicating early American pots/crocks in the 1980-1990’s similar to what Alice showed us today. He was using a salt glaze fire. The pots are decorated with birds and flowers, again very similar to these shown today. Salt glazing is now banned due to environmental issues. Alice’s pots are beautiful. Also, I believe Bennington pottery Co. Is still in existence, they have lovely sponge-ware. Thank you for sharing your this magnificent collection. 🧡💛🤎
Thanks Alice and Anne! I love looking at stoneware, especially when it's decorated. I have a nice collection, some that my dear mom left me when she passed. My husband says I'm an addict and I always tell him that if your going to be addicted to something stoneware isn't a bad thing.😊
Once again another delightful history lesson and beautiful antique stoneware. Alice just makes it all so interesting…..thank you Anne for featuring her with her collections. So enjoyable.
Norton pottery has very bribant blue decoration ! The white residule is evident your crock was used for preserving raw eggs for up to a year. Its called water glassing and still done by homesteaders today. It dates to 1800's.
Back in the day crocks would have been covered with a pigs bladder that would shrink as it dried to fit the opening. Something like sauerkraut would have been topped by a weight.
I have several stoneware/pottery pieces & I love them all! One tip…don’t carry them by the handles if they have one. My husband was carrying one that we bought at a show & the handle broke off 😱. Thank you for sharing your lovely collection 😍
Such a wonderful collection!! I love every piece! 💙 Incidentally- one of my Christmas crafts in the current issue of A Primitive Place magazine is how to create “look alike” stoneware crockery from ordinary glass containers ! I find adding the faux pieces among my real pieces helps round out my collection until I can afford to buy more ! 💙
I found a croc from England in the Goodwill for under $5 and now I’m hooked on Stoneware. Ironically, I ordered a stoneware just last night with the dark blue as my Goodwill piece. Thanks Anne and Alice for the info on Stoneware.🧡🎃
Thank you Sweet Alice again for sharing all of your Amazing collections. I've noticed that your clothing matches with the with the collections or rooms that your sharing with us.
Alice has these hidden away… she should display them more prominently on occasion. Please ask her when she started her love of primitive, and how long she’s been collecting! Thanks Anne
Now this was up my alley. I do have a question, I have been collecting what you called stoneware but I've always called salt glazed pottery. Am I not correct?
I'm from Pennsylvania. I wonder, since these crocks were largely from Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey, if they had their origin with the Pennsylvania Dutch and the Amish who are prevalent especially in Pennsylvania.

That’s a great thing to be addicted to and how meaningful that you have your moms pieces.

I liked all of her pieces. My favorite was the one with the bird.
Alice! Your house is always so clean! Thank you for sharing your wonderful knowledge!

Hi Anne, Hi Alice. Possibly the large jugs could have held vinegar ect.
An awesome collection! Loved them all but those jugs were spectacular. Thank you Alice & Anne for sharing.
