George Lazier was related, having married Samuel Hart\u2019s daughter. George Lazier ran the pottery from 1864 to 1879. Crocks from this period decorated with birds are scarce and the birds are generally of one type. This is no ordinary Lazier bird crock. Yes, there are two crossed birds, which is extremely rare, but the style of the birds is also unusual for Lazier. Note the dots on the birds\u2019 bodies. This is something more commonly seen on birds from the period when Skinner owned the pottery. Of course, potters and decorators stayed-on through the changes in ownership. The added element of a watch-spring or bowtie design below the birds also makes this one special. This is a large 5 gal butter crock. 11 1/2\u2033 tall. A crack down the left side has been professionally stabilized and restored. The restoration is high quality though a line remains visible. The crock is solid and has a good ring to it. Otherwise the overall condition is excellent. The rim and handles are intact and clean. None of the staining you commonly see with butter crocks. Displays beautifully! If you own one Lazier Picton Canada West crock, it should be this one."},"medium":{"label":"Medium","value":"Stoneware"},"onview":{"label":"On View","value":"1"},"media":{"label":"Media","value":{"mediaRenditionNumber":"T10.6.371","publicAccess":"true","mediaImageURL":"https://emuseum.gardinermuseum.com/internal/media/dispatcher/29634/full","rank":"0","pixelHeight":"635","pixelWidth":"624","mediaID":"29634"}},"title":{"label":"Title","value":"Double-bird crock"},"classification":{"label":"Classifications","value":"North American"},"rels":{"label":"Relations","value":"[]"},"subclassification2":{"label":"Sub-classification 2","value":""},"primaryMedia":{"value":"https://emuseum.gardinermuseum.com/internal/media/dispatcher/29634/full"},"subclassification3":{"label":"Sub-classification 3","value":""},"collections":{"label":"Collections","value":["The Raphael Yu Collection","19th and early 20th Century Ceramics","Canadian Ceramics in the 1800s","Ceramics for the Canadian Market"]},"geography":{"label":"Geography","value":"Manufactured: Picton, Ontario, Canada"},"culture":{"label":"Culture","value":"Canadian"},"displayDate":{"label":"Date","value":"late 19th century"},"id":{"label":"Id","value":"185560"},"dimensions":{"label":"Dimensions","value":"Overall: 29 × 31 cm (11 7/16 × 12 3/16 in.)"}}]}
