The interior of this crock is glazed with Albany slip, a naturally occurring clay found near Albany. The clay was mixed with water until liquid and then poured and swirled around the interior of the vessel. A coating of Albany slip prevented a reaction with highly acidic or alkaline foods stored in the vessels, gave a pleasing appearance, and provided a smooth finish that was easier to clean.

Pots were often stacked in the kiln with one inverted on top of another. The unglazed portions of this jar's top rim demonstrate the placement of kiln props to keep the pot on top from adhering. Overfiring is evident in the sagging rim and the large bubbles in the clay. The Metropolitan Museum of Art has a crock attributed to Clarkson Crolius, Sr. that has almost identical floral decoration.
