This is an original antique 4 gallon salt glaze stoneware crock with cobalt upturned leaf North Star? Condition is fair; there are absolutely no chips, and the glaze is shiny and even, but there are three hairlines (one that wraps about 2/3 of the way around the crock near the top, one crow's foot on the bottom, and one hairline near the side), all shown in the photos.
A couple cracks appear to have some glue residue inside and there is no movement at any of the cracks. This is an early and hard to find piece that displays beautifully! The crock measures 11 1/2" H x 11" in diameter.
