Ca 1871 Beautiful 2 - Blue Flowers Antique 3 Gallon SEYMOUR & BOSWORTH Hartford, Conn Stoneware Crock /Planter

Made- right here in our great Nutmeg State of Connecticut, circa 1871, this beautiful stoneware crock is a hefty three gallon container. When we found it, this specific crock was being used a planter and is a great example of the versatility and durability of these crocks. Measuring 11 1/4” in diameter and 10 1/2” tall. Please note that this piece is missing one of its elephants' ear handles and can be seen in the photos. Most crocks do not have such beautiful blue painting and accents, please see the photos for details.
I can't read 2 of the letters above the blue design and the number 3 but this has most of the SEYMOUR & BOSWORTH HARTFORD (Connecticut) maker's names incised and blue letters. Orson Hart Seymour was taken on as a partner with in the remaining business of the Goodwin & Webster pottery in 1857. With the passing of both Goodwin & Webster and Webster's son Charles now running the kiln, Orson Hart Seymour became a partner in the firm. Seymour partnered first with Webster, then with his brother Henry, and then in 1871 took on Stanley Bosworth. Adding to his family's legacy in stoneware, Orson Seymour made his historical mark with over 30 years of stoneware manufacturing.

No cracks but it does have some small surface flakes on the face. Overall, even with these noted concerns, I would still say it is in Good condition with a beautiful blue design.

Consistent with age and use.
