    Description

    A rare, very clean, hand made (wheel turned) NESTEA CROCK BARREL DISPENSER WITH ITS ORIGINAL SPIGOT (the spigot works but the original rubber seal has a slow leak and needs replaced).
    It measures approximately 11" high by 8" wide (at top) and 8 3/4" wide at center.
    Two gallons of liquid fills it to within 2 1/2" of the top.
    Has a thick turquoise (aqua) glaze which covers the inside and outside completely (the interior glaze, at the bottom, has some natural (fused/sealed) crazing from the secondary firing process). The outside (bottom) of the crock has: MADE IN U.S.A. incised into the glaze-covered clay body.
    Has one tight hairline crack, from the rim down, that is ca. 3 1/8" long (appears to be a 'stabilized stress crack' from the firing/glazing process).  There is a recent (small) chip, at the base, (as shown in photo) and some flea bites on the top rim, as well as several scattered (very small) spots, in the body clay, that were not covered during the glazing process.
    No evidence it ever had a lid.
