This amazing piece is quite a rare find. A 50 gallon crock, original made in Alberta, no cracks and literally huge. Crocks were used before the rise of refrigerators. The watertight, stoneware structure, usually kept in the basement, was used to store foods and other perishable items. Nowadays, crocks are used widely as rustic and attractive accent pieces. See this crock in our store, Black Pearl Emporium, 60 Pine Street, Collingwood, L9Y 2N7. Currently priced at $1500 CAD Links: http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2002-04-21/news/0204200370_1_stoneware-crock-art-pottery https://www.pinterest.ca/explore/antique-crocks/?lp=true
