Crockery

So, the lawyer I work for never heard of crockery, which made me wonder where the word came from. Is it archaic? Or British?

If you know, please share--and if you don't, feel welcome to make up something outrageous!

It's archaic, 1750s it appears. used to be common parlance vs cutlery.

Actually it's dishes, plates cups saucers etc. At least in the uses I've always heard it.

cutlery and crockery--that makes sense.
