Rockdale Union Stoneware – Edgerton, WI Salt-glazed stoneware crock produced by Rockdale Union Stoneware, featuring a hand-applied cobalt blue pastoral scene depicting a farmhouse and trees, with the inscription “The Shelbys” beneath the illustration. The cylindrical form, rolled rim, and warm gray-beige glaze reference classic 19th-century Midwestern utilitarian crocks, while the decorative motif and personalization reflect Rockdale’s late-20th-century revival of traditional American stoneware techniques. The impressed oval maker’s mark reading “Rockdale Union Stoneware – Edgerton, Wis – Always Handmade – 1996” anchors the piece firmly within the company’s modern craft production rooted in historic forms.
