Turquoise Crock Jar
« on: July 19, 2017, 04:19:15 pm »
I have a Turquoise two handle open crock jar from the Ohio River Valley. The bottom of the jar is a off white clay. I bought this from a man in his 90's that stated his mother had it when he was a child. Any info and value will help.

Some call them "crocks", ........ others call them "jars".

But the color of that one makes me think it might have been produced post-1940 or 50.

That is just a guess on my part.

True, turquoise was a popular 40s color.

Reminds me of an early McCoy cookie jar.

(Even down to that black cold paint ring at the bottom.)

It looks like work from Rhode Island/Mass. region, late 18th century early 19th century glazed Redware.  Jacon4 had given to me on another thread the name of a great Auction House  "Crocker Farm"

They welcome your request on information for this type of vessel.  No guarantees that it is the above mentioned, however it is worth a shot to check with Crocker Farm.  Chances are your crock is worth quite a bit of money.  There is high demand from antique crocks and Redware/Stoneware these days.

One additional comment..I just notice you mentioned Ohio Valley in your description and that the base was white.  My bad..I was looking at the inside of the crock which look red in color to me and the base also. 

However most antique or vintage crocks were made of Stoneware with a alkaline glazed.  I wanted to make that distinction from my earlier comment.  Crocker Farm will give you more accurate information.  Good Luck!
