I hope you didn't think my heading was meant to conjure up thoughts of naughty words! Actually, today it's not just one crock, but many! Some of these are family heirlooms, although I'm not sure which ones except the largest - a pickle crock that was my great grandfather's. It stands 23 inches tall (58 cm) and 18 inches (46 cm) across - that's alotta pickles! One of my brothers downsized from a 3-bedroom duplex to a one-bedroom apartment and asked if I wanted these - of course I did!
If anyone knows where I can hunt for crock info and worth, I'd appreciate any help!Check out the other assorted vintage goodies at ColoradoLady!

These crocks are great! How neat to have something like this from your great-grandfather!
These are great for so many things..I love how you have them grouped together...really cute. Have a great VTT
What a nice, simple grouping of great old crocks. Simplicity and beautiful!
love crocks..they look great grouped together
I love your old crocks! It's wonderful you still have the lids. They're usually the first ones to break. Love the jugs too
I just love old crocks! I have a couple from my parents that I should share for VTT.
I'm not sure where to find crock info -- sorry. But I also have several crocks. They belonged to my Ex's grandmother who used them for pickles. I use mine for flour; they don't all have lids. But I love them as well; and as my dear Ex is gone now, I'm glad the children will have them when I go!
Are you using yours for pickle making?
Those are amazing! Im not sure exactly where to look but I got one at a sale once and was able to find information just by googling pickle crocks - crown crocks, fermenting crocks. There was a variety of words I used. I think alot of the came out of ohio - I might have also used ohio pottery.
But there is lots of info on the internet to be had
happy vtt!
These are very old and a great collection. I have found the best place to research is on E-bay for older things. I am sure you are aware of this.
I like the smaller ones better, although the largest one looks like it could be more useful.
Nice collection. Love the big one. I've been trying to find one to put all my green handled utensils in, but they are so expensive. I keep looking.
Maybe you could just Google it? I use Google for EVERYthing now.
I, too, have a huge crock that was my mom's.
Oh my golly! I love your crocks. I collect them myself, but can't give you any tips on info on them. I just like them for their aesthetic appeal to me. Thanks for showing them off here.

How wonderful to have something from your great-grandfather! Great crocks!
Wonderful family heirlooms! I love crocks, and always had hopes of finding some in my grandparents' cellar, because Grandma made lots of pickles and sauerkraut. No crocks, just lots of canning jars!
Happy VTT!

Sue, that is such precious family treasure! thanks for sharing.. happy vtt
Love those old family crocks! My Mom has a couple that she keeps her magazines and knitting in, next to her easy chair. And I have to admit I have my eye on them.
Your crocks are very charming. They look so nice grouped together.
Wonderful crocks and so useful, still!
I love old crocks. I am always drawn to them in the antique stores, but I don't really know very much about them. Have a nice weekend! Twyla
Love these. I have a very large one on my front porch that my brother-in-law gave me, big enough for a tree. Nothing is made this well any more.
You have a wonderfully cheerful blog! So excited for your new Senator!
Hugs,

Great collection Sue. That would be a lot of pickles!
You are so right about the Dr. office meltdowns. It's funny later but not while it's happening!
Hugs,
