Country Crocks

Flea Market Finds With The Kovels : Episode FMF-302 -- More Projects »

Host Ralph Kovel travels to the flea market in Springfield, Ohio, to find beautiful antique country crocks. These date back to the 1800s and are prized for their age, condition and quality of stencil design.

Stoneware crocks from the 1800s have increased in value because they are so hard to find.

Price is determined by age, condition and quality.

This is an advertising crock from Pittsburg. It was made in the 1860s and goes for $600.

The "#2" on this crock means it's two gallons.

The chip on the bottom reduces the price a bit to $450.

It was common to stencil the size onto the piece.

Here's a six-gallon crock that sells for $575.

This four-gallon crock was made by Hamilton and Jones.

There is some staining on it which brings down the price to $1,400. If it were flawless it would sell for $1,800.

This five-gallon crock was originally a butter churn.

In perfect condition it would go for $2,000, but since it has a crack along the side, it's priced at $900.
