Function: Butter churns like this one were used to convert cream into butter through a process called churning, which involves agitating the cream to separate the butterfat from the buttermilk.
Type: This appears to be a "plunge churn" or "dasher churn," where a staff (the dasher) with a perforated disc is moved vertically within the stoneware crock to agitate the cream.
Manufacturer: The text visible on the churn indicates it was made by "Love Field Potteries" in Dallas, Texas. This pottery company began in Dallas in 1923 on the airforce base known as Love Field, hence the name and their airplane logo (though not clearly visible in this image).
Historical Significance: Stoneware butter churns were common in farm homes for centuries, especially in rural America during the early 1900s, as a means of making and preserving butter at home.
Collectibility: Pieces from specific potteries like Love Field Potterie
