T.G. Green: Cornish Ware Blue: Lidded Butter Crock

Vintage T.G. Green Cornishware Electric Blue lidded butter crock — made in England, Church Gresley, Derbyshire, 1940s.

Iconic alternating lathe-turned Electric Blue (E-Blue) and white bands with its original period-correct flat button-top central knob handle intact. Heavy-gauge English yellowware body under a glossy glaze. A rare, highly tactile culinary collectible — finding a perfectly married original pot and lid set from this era is an anomaly.
More Details

  • Perfectly married original pot and lid — lids were frequently lost or chipped, making complete sets extremely rare.
  • Interior browning is authentic kitchen seasoning from decades of storing salted butter — highly sought-after by collectors.

Did you Know?

Lidded specialty serving crocks are the holy grail for vintage earthenware hunters. Because lids were highly fragile and frequently dropped or chipped over the last 70+ years, finding a perfectly married original pot and lid set is a genuine anomaly. The flat-tapered button knob profile and early green banner shield mark on this set confirm manufacture by T.G. Green & Co. Ltd in Church Gresley, England, between the 1930s and 1950s. Original Electric Blue pieces from this era carry a significant premium among country cottage preservationists and professional food prop stylists who demand genuine heritage kitchenalia over modern reproductions.
Origin & Era

Made in England, Circa 1940s.
Dimensions

Approximate Dimensions: Diameter 12cm, Height 8.5cm, Volume 400 ml.
Vintage Condition

Very good antique structural condition with beautiful external display appeal. No exterior hairline cracks, structural fractures, or modern restorations. Minor age-related wear.

Features tight, clean, uniform glaze crazing across the exterior matching pieces. The pristine white lid and heavily dark-toned interior of the base pot are a factory-matched pair from the exact same era; the stark internal browning is standard, highly sought-after kitchen seasoning from decades of storing salted butter or fats seeping naturally through the porous clay base while the lid stayed protected from direct contact.
