Large Western Stoneware crock w/ lid & bail
 If this big ol’ lidded crock isn’t “primitive”, I don’t know what is! It’s made of heavy stoneware that’s 1/2" thick! It stands 9-1/4" tall when lidded, and its diameters are 4-7/8" inside mouth, 5-7/8" outside mouth, 7-1/2" widest point, and 7" base. It is white with plenty of brown specks. The 1/2" thick rim is unglazed. The unglazed bottom has a faint “150-52" impression and an even fainter impression in the shape of a maple leaf. The lid has a raised circular logo that says “Western Stoneware Co. Monmouth Illinois”. Inside that, on one side, is “Weir Seal”, and on the other side “No. 5". The 1/2" rim on the under side of the lid, containing two raised bands, is unglazed. Western Stoneware Co. was established in 1906 by combining seven existing potteries in and around Monmouth, IL: Weir Pottery, Monmouth Pottery, Macomb Stoneware Company, Macomb Pottery Company, D Culbertson Stoneware Company, Clinton Stoneware Company, and Fort Dodge Stoneware Company. Apparently Monmouth Pottery was the largest of the seven and had been using the maple leaf logo since 1901. All the potteries making up the new Western Stoneware Co. began using the maple leaf logo, too, since Monmouth, IL was known as the “Maple City”. Considering its near-antique status, this crock is in amazingly good condition. It has no cracks or crazing, but there’s one small chip at its base, and three on the lid: one on the underside rim, another on one of the raised rim bands, and a large one on the upper rim. The metal bail is intact, and the locking mechanism still works. The picture shows the lock up, but it locks securely in the down position. (Click on picture for more images.)

Lambrecht butter crock
 This vintage cream-colored stoneware crock has black lettering on its front that reads: “Lambrecht’s Butter; ‘Famous for its Flavor’; Milwaukee - Chicago”. I’ve discovered virtually nothing about Lambrecht other than that there may have been such a company doing business in Milwaukee from 1909 until some time in the 1940's. I have no idea where Chicago comes in. But whoever they were, and wherever they were located, they certainly sold butter in crocks, this particular one being stamped on the bottom “C2 USA”. Since this crock is 3-3/4" tall and 5-1/2" in diameter, it could easily have held two cups of butter. Amazingly enough, considering its age, this crock is in near-perfect condition, with only one tiny chip at its bottom rim preventing it from being totally perfect! (Click on picture for more images.)

Old blue-banded crock
 This 5" high cream-colored stoneware crock is decorated with a 1/2" blue band an inch below its rim. It is 4-5/8" in diameter, and its interior bottom is concave rather than flat. Unglazed unmarked bottom. Similar to Red Wing advertising beater jars with solid blue band and similar in height, but doesn't have signature “tie ring”. There is a small rough bump inside that is under the glaze, three small nicks at the base rim, and a 5/8" scratchy chip below the top rim. Unknown age, but clearly vintage.

Pair of French mustard crocks
 This vintage pair of matching blue and white mustard crocks were made in France and undoubtedly imported into the U.S. filled with dijon mustard. One side has a large crest topped by a crown, with “1777" below. To the left is “Moutarde Grey”; to the right is “Fine de Dijon Poupon”. The other side has a floral design with “5 ½ oz”, “160 Gr”, and “Forte Au Vin Blanc” at the bottom. The circular black stamp on the bottom has three stylized script words in the center that I’m not even going to try to decipher, with “Marque et Modele Déposés” at the top and “Product of France” below. Each crock stands 3-3/4" high with diameters of 2-3/8" at the base, 3" at the widest point, and 1-7/8" at the mouth. One has a hairline crack at the base of the crest and the other has wear around its mouth. Other than that, they’re in great shape, and it’s unusual to find a pair of these collectible old crocks being sold together. (Click on picture for more images.) Tell a friend.

Sargento Lambeau Field cheese crock
 This is a limited edition Lambeau Field commemorative crock produced in 2003 in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the founding of Sargento Foods, Inc., the famous cheese company headquartered near Green Bay, WI. Crock is the hunter green color of the Green Bay Packers. Front decal contains a drawing of a Packers’ quarterback in a very old-fashioned football helmet and says “Sargento, The Official Cheese of Lambeau Field, Wisconsin Cheddar Cheese Spread, 2003 Limited Edition.” Also says “Since 1957,” the year Lambeau Field came into existence. (Legendary coach Vince Lombardi arrived on the scene two years later and changed the team colors to hunter green and gold.) As any football enthusiast knows, Packers’ fans are known as “Cheeseheads,” so the partnership between Sargento and the Packers was a natural. This crock is 4-1/2" in diameter and stands 6-1/2" tall to the top of its wire bale closure. Bottom retains its original undamaged Sargento paper label. Crock is in perfect condition with no nicks, chips, or cracks, and retains its original rubber gasket. (Click on picture for more images.) Tell a friend.
