Why it’s here
Everything in the Homestedt Antiques collection was sourced from rural barns, markets, and dealers across the North East of the United States, England, and Sweden, the same regions that have inspired much of what Homestedt does. These are objects that have already lived a life. They were made by hand, used daily, and have arrived here still doing what they were always meant to do. We collect these pieces because they show the kind of character that comes from decades of use, the evidence of the maker’s hand, and a beauty that adds texture, history and warmth to a home.
What you’re seeing in this collection is just a small selection of our antiques. For the full range of our latest pieces, we recommend a visit to our North Branch, NY location where you’ll find an ever changing collection of pieces that have caught our eye.
About this piece
The classic off white stoneware crock with a contrasting glazed interior is one of the most enduring forms in rural domestic pottery. Simple, honest, and well-proportioned, these crocks were used across kitchens and larders for storing dry goods, preserves, and a hundred other things. The brown glazed interior is functional as much as decorative, providing an impermeable surface for whatever was stored within. They work just as well today as vases for stems, dried flowers, or kitchen utensils. Each of the seven available pieces is slightly different, as you would expect from individually made antiques.
Condition
Good antique condition. Off white exterior and brown glazed interior intact. Shows natural age-related patina consistent with use. Minor variations between pieces as expected.
Care & display
Hand wash only with mild soap and warm water. Not suitable for dishwasher or microwave. Handle with care. Display on open shelving or a kitchen counter where the character of the piece can be appreciated.
