[mart]

I couldn`t find any recent crocks made in that style !!

Thanks for all of the great feedback.
Not sure if it was implied that the Crock was Vintage/ antique or not from an earlier post,
But this is absolutely an antique pot.
The pot itself is much older than the painting.

Many things were repurposed back then !!  Neat old crock anyway,,its much more interesting with the added label !! Otherwise would be just another crock without knowing what it was used for !!

Just a little word to the wise here- Make sure you store/display your crock where nothing can fall on top of it. I learned the hard way that if anything drops onto the lid of a crock, because they arch upward, the lids shatter easily if something falls from above. :-(
