- Crock, 1874-1890 - Franklin Woodworth of Burlington, Vermont, created this 2-gallon crock made of stoneware--a durable, leak-proof pottery--in the late 1800s. Potters usually added decorations, like this blue flower, and impressed their names to promote their products. The orange-peel-like outer glaze was created when the potter threw handfuls of common rock salt into a white-hot kiln during the piece's firing.
