/ˈkrɒkəri//ˈkrɑːkəri/

The word "crockery" has its roots in the Middle English period, dating back to the 14th century. It is derived from the Old French word "crock," which referred to a container made of pottery or earthenware. The word "crock" is ultimately from the Latin "crotum," meaning a bulbous vessel. Initially, "crockery" referred specifically to kitchenware made of crock (earthenware) or similar materials. Over time, the term expanded to encompass all types of tableware, including fine china, glassware, and silverware. Today, "crockery" is often used to describe table settings, dinnerware, and table linens. In some parts of the English-speaking world, "crockery" is also used to refer to second-hand or used dishes, often implying a degree of informality or practicality.
