T. H. Mate & Co. Limited / Glass, / Crockery & General / Merchants / Albury. Potters stamp: ink stamped - Powell / Bristol. 1 impressed to side shoulder. Household Stoneware Double handled storage crock. Tan top, white base, black print. 1 Gallon. 195 mm. 1900s-1910s
Repaired. The handle on the left side has been partially rebuilt. This has been done quite well and fits in with the rest of the crock. There has been some re-painting done elsewhere and it is difficult to tell the full extent of any other repairs, although there is some paintwork around the right hand handle as well. All the inside of the jar seems to be fine so would suggest only minor repairs. Glaze around the top is naturally crude, there are several flakes from the glaze, but this is in the firing by the looks of it. The print is nice and there are only minor scuffs and scratches with a couple of little chips off the back base. Lovely display item. Grade: N/A Estimate: $100 - 150
