This is an old Lucky Strikes cigarettes tin

and very New England coast

with lots of scrapes and scratches--to my eye a perfect combo and I would not change a thing

nothing fussy or perfect about it

Lidded Old White and Blue Striped Stoneware Crock graphite documented in photosThis is a real beauty of an old stoneware crock, in terrific condition, and with a lid that actually matches it! I think the design is really lovely, with a mix of thin and thicker blue stripes, plus one unglazed band on the lid that is just the right thing. It feels very French to me, and would be gorgeous on the countertop in a rustic farmhouse kitchen, but also in a crisp white one. And it's plenty large to hold a lot of whatever one wants to store
