Crocker & Springer Pottery

We are pleased to introduce a new line of pottery at Antick. We now carry pieces made by Crocker & Springer.
Through extensive research of our forefathers' folk pottery, Crocker & Springer have come to appreciate the integrity of crafts made when our country was young. These early pieces evoke images of hard-working people who carried out daily tasks with pride and dignity. Even though function was the intent of most every item in a settler's home, folk craftsmen were dedicated to forming objects that were also rich in beauty. This commitment to craftsmanship is their goal at Crocker and Springer. Their stoneware is thrown and decorated by hand without the assistance of molds and stencils. It is then stacked rim to rim and fired in a large salt kiln.Their choice of primitive and labor intensive production methods ensures an early American reproduction of authenticity, strength, integrity and beauty.
