My grandmother had crocks like the one in the painting. My memory of those crocks was that she made sour kraut in them each summer when the cabbage was ready.
These are heirlooms from my husband's grandmother. He said as long as he can remember, she kept magazines in this crock. The jug sat beside a door. They're older than we are and were surely were used for other things for many years before they became a magazine holder and door stop.
I pulled the green onions from my own little onion patch. They were good... good for the still life, and good for the soup.
