Pictured is a quite early yellow ware, mocha ware storage crock with handles offered for sale.  The large utilitarian crock has a vibrant deep mustard, pumpkin coloration & great eye-appeal.  There are four (4) thin dark chocolate brown slip bands separated by thin white slip bands.  The midsection is decorated with a wide 1 3/4" brown slip band, two thin white slip bands, & an irregular white chain link slip which wraps around the circumference.  The surface is slightly indented just below the rim & near the base.  It measures 6 1/2" in height, 7 3/4" in diameter, & dates from 1835 - 1865.  There are two (2) short 1 1/2" hairlines at the rim, one is a thru hairline, the other is on the interior side only, see pics.  The exterior rim has several very small nicks.  No repairs, no restoration.  A highly unusual storage container with great color, color contrast & eye-appeal....
