A 19th Century Red Earthenware Pitcher that was Recently Found at an Estate Auction in Southeastern Pennsylvania

This nineteenth-century red earthenware pitcher was recently discovered on eBay, although, the glaze really stood out to me as a type of glaze that was produced in Buxton, Maine in the 1800's. But I can not make an attribution based on glaze alone since the form of this object relates to many areas that produced red earthenware in America before 1860.

It is not just the glaze that is great, either - the size of this pitcher is a little more than seven-inches tall. It is a perfect size!

According to the antiques dealer, "This pitcher was purchased at an estate auction in southeastern Pennsylvania. I can not say where it came from before that, but southeastern Pennsylvania is an area, where redware has been quite popular for many years."

This will be a fun piece to research that I hope to write about, again in the near future.
