I was given four stoneware pots, they are:
A crock 9 1/2" wide by 9 3/4" tal: dark brown glazed interior, unglazed rim, dark brown 'slipped' top(1/3), with unslipped but glazed stoneware below. It has a blue star in a circle with'2' inside. A chip or two (old) on bottom rim but seems in good condition.
A small crock grey self coloured stoneware with unglazed top rim with black interior 7 1/2" diameter by 5" tall slightly cracked.
A 'bean jar' (so I am told). creamy stoneware with slipped top portion in brown. Lid has no glaze on top of knop. Single handle slipped in browm It is marked Durqin-Park Market- dining room U.S.A. It also has a crown with '3' in the center and possibly some letters in the elipse of the crown.
Also a rather frost bitten crock in gray stoneware some large cracks and hazing 10 1/2" by 11" tall. I have no idea what they are or if they have any value. If they are desirable to collectors then I will sell - if not they can go back to being planters. I just didn't want to ruin some old things of interest. Thank you, Jose Allen
