Description
This is a description of a French butter crock made by Oregon Stoneware Studio. The crock is hand-thrown and is embellished with a lead-free pewter medallion on the lid. The crock is available in a variety of glazes and iconic motifs, and the thoughtful design incorporates a recess for the medallion which adds depth and visual interest. The crock is made by Carl Warne, who is the exclusive potter for Crosby & Taylor Stoneware. The two companies still work hand-in-hand, and Carl's pieces continue to be accented with Crosby & Taylor's premium pewter hardware. Due to handcrafting, variations and minor imperfections should be expected and confirm the artisan character of the work.
