but would be tempted to ink it and put it back in use to print a series of cards to be used for sending congratulations to friends for various accomplishments

Lidded Old White and Blue Striped Stoneware Crock lidded but would be tempted toThis is a real beauty of an old stoneware crock, in terrific condition, and with a lid that actually matches it!
