Handmade Sourdough Crock

Some baking tools earn a permanent place in your kitchen.

Whether you’re feeding a decades-old starter or beginning your very first loaf, this crock brings artistry and intention to a cherished baking ritual. Crafted exclusively for King Arthur by a small Vermont pottery studio, each Handmade Sourdough Crock is individually wheel-thrown, hand-finished, and made in small batches. Designed to nurture a thriving sourdough starter, this beautiful stoneware vessel offers plenty of room to grow, while a loose-fitting lid lets fermentation gases escape naturally. From the hand-applied King Arthur crown to the clean, timeless design, every detail reflects the care and craftsmanship behind its creation — no two are exactly alike, giving every crock its own subtle character and charm. Beautiful enough to leave on display and durable enough for years of daily use, it’s a piece you’ll reach for again and again, becoming more meaningful with every loaf you bake.
