Antique stoneware crocks
Some of these crocks are marked with a single number to indicate the size of the vessel. For example, a 3-quart crock is marked with a number three, while a 5-quart crock has a number five on it. A simple mark such as this indicates an authentic antique crock. Other manufacturers added a sidewall stamp to distinguish their products, but these can be difficult to discern.
Before cleaning an antique stoneware crock, it is essential to examine it carefully. Check for cracks, and for any repairs that may have been done to it. If a crock is cracked or has previously been repaired, the water used for cleaning will only worsen the problem. Early repairs may have been made with water-soluble materials and will disintegrate in the cleaning process. The best way to clean a stoneware crock is to use a conservation soap such as Orvus and a soft cloth. It is also a good idea to use a small brush to clean dirtier areas or corners.
Their history
Robert Tombs, Professor of French history at Cambridge, has written an excellent book on the English and their history. In this landmark work, he challenges the propriety of national history and reassesses our ideas about national identity. In doing so, he has written a book that will be essential reading for those wishing to understand the English. Although his argument is rooted in history, it also has some contemporary resonance. It is a lucid and authoritative account of English history that is as fascinating and valuable as any history textbook.
Historians must be able to “feel” their way into the people and age they are trying to study. That means they must try to understand the motivations and choices of those who lived in those times. They must also be able to understand the moral lessons of these histories. And finally, they must relate the lessons of the past to our contemporary lives. After all, the Qur’an states that “history has lessons for the intelligent people.”
Their size
When describing objects, their size is often the defining characteristic. Large objects, small objects, and minuscule objects are common terms used to describe their sizes. However, a wide variety of other relative sizes are also used to describe objects. Typically, objects are described as tall, short, wide, or long, but can also be described as tiny or miniature. Here are some common examples. Read on for some helpful information about objects and their relative sizes.
