This is one of two pieces of antique pottery that were left in an old house that I bought. I couldn't identify who made it. It is about 14 inches tall, and wide. It's heavy. It says USA on the bottom. There is also a crown on it with the number 3 inside. Any help with telling me more about this would be greatly appreciated.
The 3 means three gallons.
Looks like a Ransbottom mark. Here is an example:

I didn't even think about it meaning 3 gallons. Thanks, SMD, for the info.
Also, thanks, tikiray, that mark looks identical. I'm new to this site, and I appreciate all of your help!
Your welcome! These crocks are pretty popular.
My mom had all sizes of these up to 20 gallon she made her pickles in. They are great crocks!
