This is an authentic SpringWell stoneware water crock dispenser, produced in Atlanta, Georgia during the mid-20th century (1950s–1970s). These crocks were designed to hold and dispense drinking water and were once a staple in American homes, offices, and farm kitchens before the rise of plastic and glass water coolers.
The crock features a classic white glaze with cobalt blue stripes, a 2-gallon capacity, and the original side spigot for dispensing water, tea, or other beverages. The bottom is clearly embossed:
“SpringWell Dispensers – Atlanta, Georgia. “
