This charming antique salt glazed stoneware crock is a classic example of Westerwald pottery, hailing from the Rhineland region of Germany, renowned for its robust utilitarian ceramics.

Likely dating to the late 19th or early 20th century, the crock features hand-applied cobalt blue floral decoration on a grey salt-glazed body.

Twin lug handles, striped in blue, add to the rustic elegance of this functional piece.

Salt glazing, a traditional technique that originated in Germany, gives the stoneware its distinctive glossy, slightly textured surface.

The deep blue floral brushwork is applied freehand, making each piece unique. Ideal for collectors of European folk pottery or as a statement kitchen accessory.
