Crocks make a wonderful addition to your home décor and can be used as a stand-alone or considered as containers for floral arrangements as well as dried arrangements. In 1900, Frank Ransbottom and his brother started a pottery company in Roseville, Ohio to make stoneware and pottery. By 1916 Ransbottom Pottery was the largest producer of stoneware jars in America. Around 1920, they merged with Robinson Clay Products Co. who created bricks and tiles. The name was changed to RRP Company (to reflect both initials) and product lines expanded to include garden ware in addition to their art pottery and functional goods. The company was able to endure through the great depression and was in business until 2005, when it finally ceased operations. Since RRP Co no longer exists, it is fairly assured that their pottery will become more collectible and valuable in the future. Source: http://www.oldantiquepottery.info/rrpco.htmThese vintage glazed, hand-thrown, kiln-fired crocks were used before the introduction of refrigeration. American households used them to hold food such as butter, salted meat, and pickled vegetables. These stoneware crocks were durable, economical, and watertight even without the glaze.
