lol sorry about the title.....

Anyway, Does anyone know of a place where I can find a CROCK. Not a
crock pot, but a crock like; for making sauerkraut, or pickles.... Big
old 4 tone heavier than it looks CROCK. Preferably between 1 and 5
gallons. These things are extreamly hard to come by. I live down the
street from Williamsburg potery in Williamsburg, VA and they don't know
where to find one. HUGE place with BIDILLIONS (my own word) of
differnent types of pottery, and I get "NOTHING!"


Thanks for any you can send,


CHRIS

A quick google turned up these guys:

But they aren't cheap.

You might want to ask in rec.food.preserving, where it's ontopic.

Perhaps you may want to check local antique/flea markets/fairs,
especially the larger ones! I've often seen the types of crocks I'm
sure you mean. And, don't forget to BARGAIN! Never settle for asking
price unless you really want that crock! That's what I so like about
flea markets -- I can bargain for the item I want - or don't want

Another option is to read your local newspapers and/or place an
advertisement. Good luck.

This is American, your money no good any more. I look at the web page and
thought they were not overprice.

OK.... what is an HHG?

And I agree, the crocks were not overpriced.

WHAT?????

I bought a big glass crock at Target last Sept. Nice and heavy about
2-3 gallons. Not pottery, but works even better b/c you can see
everything.

Check with local pottery makers/artists in your area, especially if they
can provide a good kiln (which they should have anywhoo!). They may
have or know of some resources that are not commonly known (?). Only a
suggestion.

P.S. As already mentioned, it won't be cheap!
