English term or phrase: for stock
The whole sentence goes like this: "The third English category are the workers in hard stone, alabaster and marble, who executed commissions for tombs, etc. or who worked for stock." The sentence belongs to a book about Sculpture, from the chapter dealing with the Middle Ages.
Ana Maria Dias Correia
Portuguese translation:realizavam trabalhos para ficarem em depósito.
Explanation:
Creio que "worked for stock" aqui tem a ver com trabalhos de escultura mais comuns, como cantarias, colunas, capitéis mas sem um fim preciso.
Espero que ajude.

produziam mercadorias para serem vendidas / para o estoque


Explanation:
Acho que for stock, no caso, se opõe ao trabalho em tombs, que era uma produção encomendada, pré-vendida. Quando o trabalho não era encomendado por alguém, a produção ficava em "estoque" para ser vendida. Nesse caso, ela era pós-vendida. Make sense?
