These stoneware crocks are made in America and glazed by hand. As decorative as they are practical, pickling crocks are sturdy, stable and made to last. Pottery crocks can be filled with cabbage or cucumbers and stored in a cool, dry place to spark natural fermentation, or used as a kitchen or pantry container. These earthenware crocks are made with a food-safe, lead-free glaze that's chemical free and are dishwasher, microwave, and oven safe. Stoneware crocks are easy to clean.
