Figure 45 Crock, probably Baltimore, Maryland, ca. 1851. Salt-glazed stoneware. H. 11 1/2". Stenciled “Clayton & Hewes Butter Dealers Baltimore.” City directories reveal the firm of Clayton and Hewes existed in 1851, a partnership that lasted just one year. (Matchett’s Baltimore Directory for 1851, p. 56.) A similar example was made for S. Clayton and Sons Butter Packers (see fig. 59). Both vessels share similarly applied ears and brushed decoration characteristic of Baltimore manufacture.
