Question:
We have a 50 gallon birch leaf crock we would like to sell. It has a hairline from the rim down, about 18 inches long. Would appreciate any info you can give.

Answer: There are a few questions I have regarding your 50 gallon Birch Leaf crock. Is the decoration in Blue ink or Black ? Are there 4 birch leaves or 6? Is the 18" hairline in the front, back or sides? All these questions help determine the price. Blue ink is in more of a demand than Black. Six birch leaves are more difficult to find then four. And lastly, a hairline in the back or side is much more forgiving than in the front. Either way, this is a tough piece to find. The price range for your piece can vary from $2000 to $2800 depending on the questions I gave you. Good luck on your sale. Al Kohlman
