But this was signed probably by Maria Crafts Kellogg put here her husband signature on here during the time frame that she was a potter producing these pots in around the 1851-1853 period. You can see it has a women's touch to it with the decorations it is highly stylize with flowers and sometimes there is one on a particular book that this man wrote about Whateley crocks that has a dove on it.
