Canadian. Picton, Ontario. Salt-glazed stoneware. A two-gallon storage crock with lug handles decorated with the number "2" above a stylized swirl design in cobalt blue. Stamped, "G.I. Lazier / Picton C.W." 11.25" x 9". From the Leigh Moore and late Wendy Daxon Collection.

Very minor separation in the clay at the back of the rim that likely occurred during manufacturing. A small tight hairline crack and chip are evident at the base. Two small chips appear on the inner rim and a larger chip approximately 3/4" in length can be seen on the left side handle. A couple of small glaze flakes are evident to the right of the decoration.
