A Group of New England Red Earthenware Objects Acquired Today from a Longtime New Hampshire Collection

Last weekend, I heard through Facebook that Thomas Bartlett Antiques and Oddments in Chichester, New Hampshire had acquired the longtime red earthenware collection of Fred and JoAnn Cadarette, who are also antique dealers in Loudon, New Hampshire. It is a collection that had been mostly assembled in northern New England with examples from Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, western New York, Ontario, Connecticut and Pennsylvania. The collection had also been brought into the store just in time for the state's annual antiques week celebration.

I did not have time to visit the shop until today; although, most of the collection still remained when I arrived with my niece, Alexis this morning. I was told a jug, a small colander, a few New Hampshire pieces and a few milks pans had already sold. But the bulk of the collection still remained.

We ended up leaving with two excellent examples of red earthenware made at the William Pecker Pottery in Merrimacport, Massachusetts, circa 1790-1820, which included a great large ovoid pot with what appears to be its origin lid - as well as, an extremely rare mustard, cream and raspberry colored red earthenware flask that was likely made in northern New England, circa 1800-1860.

I will share more pictures of this terrific flask next week, but I feel this is a heck of a piece!

Note: There are still a number of pieces from this collection available in the shop - I would suggest visiting the store soon if you have an interest.
