Help Id'ing this beautiful old green crock.

I found this lovely old crock at a thrift store and would love to know more about it.

I wish it had some maker's marks but none to be found, great green color, ear handles, hand painted flowers (?) lid everything in tact I just wish I knew more about it.


Does this style look familiar to you? Any help greatly appreciated! Thank you!

 

Hi and welcome!

It is the same shape as a Red Wing Saffron Line cookie jar however I found this information on the Red Wing Collector's site.

http://www.redwingcollectors.org/17707/ask_the_experts/dinnerware/barrel-shaped-cookie-jar

"The item in the photo is a barrel-shaped cookie jar. Red Wing did make cookie jars in this shape but not this one. I believe this cookie jar was made by an Ohio pottery. It’s my understanding a mold maker sold the mold for this cookie jar to several potteries, thus it’s difficult to verify the maker unless the piece is marked."

 

thank you for your help!

 

Hello and Welcome Sav - I believe what you have may be a Robinson Ransbottom cookie jar from the late 1920's - early 1930's. That would match with SIS's Ohio information. My reference is Skillman's Robinson Ransbottom Pottery Company book pg. 34. It is pictured in a number of glazes including some with cold paint like yours although there is not a solid green one.
