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!

Crockery is in common use in Britain, though I notice we don't use the word as frequently as we did when I was younger. I would expect a teenager to know the word but not to use it.
