These crocks are from Dave Neuhardt's stoneware collection. According to Dave, "The charming canal boat crock is not marked, but the well-known auction where I bought it believed that, based on color and where it came from, it was from one of the dozens of stoneware potteries around Akron. Probably 1870’s, but that is a guess. Notice how the sponge-painted shelves really set off the collection. Next to impossible to tell which shelf is a reproduction. Photo credit: Mary Starbuck
