Robinson-Ransbottom's Crown mark is one of the most recognizable stamps in American stoneware, and this heavy two-tone jug wears it proudly beneath an embossed USA.
Dimensions: 5.75" tall; approx. 7.0" diameter at widest point; holds 2 qt to the top
Origin: Roseville, Ohio, USA
Era: Vintage, 1960s–1970s (estimated)
Condition: Very good vintage condition — no chips or cracks; lid missing. Please review photos closely before purchasing, as all sales are final.
This large, heavy crock has an interesting single-handle shape, commonly called a bean pot though its proportions read closer to a jug, finished in the much-desired brown and beige glaze. An embossed “USA” sits alongside the company's unmistakable blue crown emblem.
Without its lid, it makes an excellent vase, a holder for rolling pins and kitchen utensils, or a standout piece in a fall decor vignette — a very heavy piece, so please factor that into shipping.
The Ransbottom Brothers founded R.R.P. Co. in Ironspot, Ohio in 1900, and by 1916 it was the largest producer of stoneware jars in America. In 1920 the company merged with the Robinson Clay Product Company of Akron to become Robinson-Ransbottom, producing lines like Old Colony, Rustic Ware, Luxor, and Tionesta Art Ware before the factory closed in 2005.
A wonderful piece for a country or farmhouse kitchen, or a meaningful addition to a Robinson-Ransbottom stoneware collection.
