This is a beautiful Rare and super hard to find in this size 30 gallon Red Wing Union Stoneware crock. Not only is it hard to find in this monster size but this crock is in black ink rather than blue.
On top of that, it is in near factory mint condition. No cracks or hairlines or spider lines. There are only 2 minor flaws. 1 small chip on one of the handles and 1 quarter size shallow chip on the inside (see pictures). Some glaze runs as is typical on these monsters.
This piece should be in a museum! I never seen another one let alone in this condition! It is a big heavy crock and OVER 100 YEARS OLD! Where you going to find another one?I hate to part with it as I've had it many years, but I'm not getting any younger and my kids have no interest in it. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
