Lot 124: A Collection of English Two-Tone Salt-Glazed Stoneware Storage Jars and Crocks
A collection of English salt-glazed stoneware storage vessels, characteristic of late 19th to early 20th-century domestic utility. The assortment includes several cylindrical storage jars of graduated sizes, two larger storage crocks featuring integrated loop handles, and a small stoneware bottle. The vessels are finished in a traditional two-tone salt glaze, with a buff or cream-coloured lower section and a contrasting brown-glazed shoulder and rim. One handled crock features a decorative impressed band around the shoulder with a repeating circular motif. No manufacturer marks or stamps are visible on the bodies or bases. The items are in the style of regional English stoneware production from the late Victorian period. One jar bears a contemporary handwritten adhesive label.
Condition report:
The items exhibit signs of age and previous use, including surface staining and minor abrasions. Small chips are visible on several pieces, particularly around the rims and bases, including a chip to the foot rim of one handled jar. The collection is in a condition consistent with its age and original domestic purpose.
