I FOUND THIS OLD CROCK AT A YARD SALE THOUGHT IT WAS QUITE DIFFERENT SO I PICKED IT UP.I HAVE HAD IT FOR A WHILE AND SINCE IT DOES NOT FIT WITH THE STYLE I AM USING ANY LONGER I THOUGHT I WOULD PASS IT ON.THE PROBLEM BEGAN WHEN I TRIED TO FIGURE OUT THE MAKER.I FINALLY DID IT WAS RANSBURG.THEY MADE CANDLES AND GLASS WARE AND AT ONE POINT CAST IRON.DURING THE DEPRESSION THEY STATED MAKING HAND PAINTED STONEWARE.THIS PIECE IS FROM SOMETIME IN THE DEPRESSION ERA.I CAN PUT IT T CAUSE WHEN I BOUGHT IT IT WAS AN OLDER MAN WHO SAID IT CAME FROM HIS GRANDMOTHER WHEN HE WAS A BOY. YOU CAN SEE THIS CROCK WAS WELL USED.I TRIED TO SHOW IN PICS THE WEAR.IT IS PAINTED BLACK WITH WHAT I COULD FIND OUT IS A HOLLYHOCK DESIGN.IT LOOKS IN GOOD SHAPE EXCEPT FOR DESIGN.MAYBE SOMEONE WITH KNOWLEDGE OF THESE OLD PIECES CAN BRING IT BACK TO LIFE.YOU CAN TELL T IS SOME CRAZING FROM THE INSIDE BUT,HARD TO TELL ANYTHING FROM THE OUTSIDE.I THINK THE WEAR OF IT GIVES IT A TYPE OF OLD CHARM.NOT SURE IF I WOULD MESS WITH IT AT ALL.I JUST HATE TO SEE IT END UP IN MY ATTIC.PLEASE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE ASK.
