<p>[QUOTE="gg11311, post: 58210, member: 604"]Ok so this is totally bizarre but I actually found these two pieces at separate estate sales here in Northern VA. I can find some info on the HC Smith pottery which operated in the early to mid half of the 19th century in Alexandria VA and Washington DC. I was hoping someone in the community could help me deterimine if they are in fact authentic. Both have what a appears to be a signiture and the number 91 etched into the bottom and each has an almost identitcal floral pattern. There is also what appears to be the number "8" impressed on the rear of each crock down by the bottom. The mark on the front was apparently in use from 1931-1957. There are very slight variations in size and shape but these two are almost exactly the same and stand about 6 1/2" tall and 5 1/2" in diameter at the shoulder... what are the odds?
