<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jen and George, post: 118603, member: 845&quot;]We have sold lots of crocks over the years.&nbsp; Size does matter.&nbsp; The smallest antique crocks (people persist in calling them salesman&#039;s samples but they are most likely just small crocks) can be expensive, particularly if they are unusual.&nbsp; Then 2 to 3 gallon crocks are the most common and are the ones most people seem to want.&nbsp; They are easy to lift and fit on most shelves for display.&nbsp; 4 to 6 gallon crocks (in our experience) are the ones that the people who remember mom making sauerkraut or pickles and using a crock are looking for.&nbsp; We have had several 10 gallon and at least 3 20 gallon crocks and they can be a hard sell.</p><p><br /></p><p>This crock has a lot going for it.&nbsp; Size is not too big, and it has great decoration and color and it has the &quot;ears.&quot;&nbsp; People really like those ears. </p><p>A man in Roseville told us 30 years ago when crocks were really hot, that he buried them in his field for at least a year and then put a few at a time out for sale. The weathered look made folks think they were old and if he only had 2 or 3 out people assumed they were rare!&nbsp; He also told us he charged $10 a gallon for basic crocks.&nbsp;&nbsp; He&#039;s still selling crocks and seems to be doing well. I imagine he is doing the same thing yet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
