Antique 1920s The Western Pottery Co. Denver Colorado 3-Gallon Crock
Wonderful find this piece of American history, a 3-gallon pickle crock made by The Western Pottery Manufacturing Company of Denver Colorado. This is considered a rare crock due to the fact the company only made utilitarian pieces for a few years.

History,
Originally known as Queen City Pottery 1892 till 1905, then changed to The Western Pottery Manufacturers Company from 1905 to 1919. In 1919 they changed their name to The Western Pottery Co. Denver Colorado. They stopped making utilitarian pottery around 1930 and started making decorative bright colored pottery dishes and art pieces, they closed in the 1960s. There has been a resurgence of new Western Pottery Co. Denver Colorado appear on the market, these are just that brand new, made to look old.
