One of the main points that I discuss in this article is the use of slip-decoration within this industry, where it has been previously published that slip was not really used by the potter's in Peabody after 1750. But I have found evidence that suggests slip was occasionally manufactured by this industry into the 1800s even though it was not on a large scale, such as was the production with many of the potters in Pennsylvania during the same period.
Nevertheless, the idea that eighteenth century French-inspired forms were also produced in Peabody is a topic that is also discussed; whereas, a similar style of French-inspired production has been recovered within an eighteenth century colonial archaeological context at the site of the Museum of the American Revolution in Philadelphia.
Other topics in this article include newly discovered sherds and kiln waste found at a potter's site in Peabody and elsewhere in the area, archaeological evidence from Boston and Salem, Massachusetts, as well as previously unpublished objects from museum collections and private collections.
Note: The following pictures were not included in the upcoming article, but all of these objects are attributed to the potter's industry in Peabody, Massachusetts by the Peabody Historical Society from the eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Three of the images shown below display objects that were made at the Moses Paige Pottery in the late-nineteenth and twentieth century, which is a style of production that can often be mistaken for other locations today.
