A Colorfully Glazed 19th Century Red Earthenware Cup Recently Found in Vasselboro, Maine

This is another object that I also recently acquired from Maine antiques collector and picker, Chris Havey. He said he discovered this colorfully-glazed red earthenware cup in a collectible shop in Vassalboro, Maine, which is a small community located in Kennebec County, and a few miles north of Augusta, Maine.

I am not going to provide an attribution for this object today; although, I will say that this object is extremely well made, and it was likely made in Maine during the circa 1840-1860 period. This is a rare form to find today, but it is even rarer to find this form decorated in such a colorful glaze.

Note: The base appears to be covered in a fatty substance, which likely indicates how this object was used in the nineteenth-century.
