Question:
I have this crock that I’m interested in knowing the specifics about. It is in good shape, no cracks or chips but there are some small blemishs that appear to be stoneware defects and the tip of one leaf didn’t stamp. According to your website the oval is considered the "Union" oval. What can you tell me about it? Janae
