Antique Primitive Bell Jar Stoneware Crock Pottery unusual 12 inches tall

  

Antique Primitive Bell Jar Stoneware Crock Pottery unusual 12 inches tall. Looks almost like a bee skep, because it has a small weep-hole at the base, but this seems like it would not be practical for bees. I could not find evidence of maker's mark or origin.

In pre-owned condition with some chips and discoloration to the stoneware, as may be seen in photos. Please review photos to confirm condition.
