Crocks make a wonderful addition to your home décor. Larger crocks make great end tables when outfitted with a rustic wooden or cut-glass top. Crocks can be used as a stand-alone or consider floral arrangements as well as dried arrangements.

These vintage glazed, hand-thrown, kiln-fired crocks were used prior to the introduction of refrigeration. American households used them to hold food such as butter, salted meat, and pickled vegetables. These stoneware crocks were durable, economical, and watertight even without the glaze.
