Crock c. 1938

"Crock" is a design drawing for a stoneware crock by George Loughridge, created in 1938. The piece depicts a design of a stylized flower with a flowing stem and rounded petals in shades of blue and gray, which is likely meant to be painted on the ceramic object. This drawing is a classic example of Loughridge's artistic style and features the delicate line work and light washes of watercolor that are characteristic of his designs. The design incorporates the maker's mark of "Satterlee & Morley, Port Edward, NY", suggesting the drawing may have been intended for a particular pottery company.
