This is an antique stoneware butter crock with lid. The crock is a light blue with dark blue lettering on the front. The sides of the crock are decorated with embossed cows, flowers, and leaves. The lid has an inset circular knob. The top of the lid is embossed with the same flowers and leaves. The inside and bottom of the crock are the natural stoneware color. There is no makers mark.
The crock is in fair antique condition for its age and use and has been repaired before. The lid has several hairline cracks that have been reglued. There is also cracking around the base of the lid knob but I am unsure if this is original or also repaired. The lid has a chip to the outside top. The base has a large chip to the inside top rim. The inside does have two hairline cracks that do not go through to the outside. I think it was actually used for butter at one point because the inside does have a smell. The crock originally had a handle, but the handle is now missing. The glazing is beginning to crackle but the details are still intact.
The crock measures 7 inches in diameter. It is 4.5 inches tall.
