Unmarked brown pottery

Bought this at the end of the estate sale as well.
They had various marked pieces like Crawford County and old salt glazed pieces.

There were 2 others that were similar to this piece.

I'm not sure if these are a hobbiests pieces or if they are something else.

 

looks like utilitarian stoneware from the first half of the last century. Would have had a lid at one time, may have been wooden or stoneware

 

First half of the last century...
Soooo pre 1950? lol

 

Yeah, I'm not good enough with dating this kind of stuff to commit to a better date, but probably around 1920's

 

I would have thought more late 1800s.

 

Size? Probably an old canning jar, though that bottom looks suspiciously new.

 

Its about 11" tall 5.75" wide at the top 6" wide at the base

 

Hi,
Run it by Crocker Farm. I had a canning jar I thought was newer also by the bottom. It turned out to be 1840's and It brought 850 bucks. A nice 840 dollar profit.

A pretty standard crock preserving jar, these were used from the 1800's into the early 1900's and beyond, and without a makers mark almost impossible to date. Yours looks in great condition with very little base wear and no damage so I would say anywhere from 1900 to the 20' or 30's or maybe even later. I personally pass these up unless there is something unusual about them that I just can't resist.

 

Was it like this one? I'd love to see a pic if you have one.

 

I think the glaze is called Albany slip.

 

Albany slip wax sealer canning jar, probably 1880's give or take. Made by many potters so hard to determine a specific maker.
