Antique Stoneware Butter Crock with Blue Cows | Primitive

Antique Stoneware Butter Crock | Early 1900s with Blue Cows and Band

This antique stoneware butter crock has a charming folk-art feel, decorated with blue cows and a simple band that give it a warm, country character.

It solves the need for a small, storied vessel that brings personality and history to kitchen counters, open shelving, or tabletop displays.

Made in the early 1900s, this crock has a compact, functional shape and the soft aging expected from stoneware of this era. The surface shows patina, glaze variation, and a few age-related imperfections including tight hairlines near the top and small rim flea bite chips. Though it no longer has its lid or handle, the form is still highly usable as a utensil holder, small planter, flatware crock, or general kitchen organizer. Found in a local collector’s estate, this piece blends whimsy and authenticity in a way that feels both grounded and unique.
