How can you tell how old a crock is? The cylinder shape of crocks wasn’t mainstream until about 1860. If there is a maker’s mark and pattern name on the bottom, it was made after 1810. If the word “limited” or “Ltd.” is on the bottom, it was made after 1861. If the mark says “Made in” a specific country, it is likely from the 1900s.

Can you leave crocks outside?
