My niece, Alexis is actually quite excited over this article since she makes her print debut, where I wrote about a large group of kiln waste that we discovered, which was related to an eighteenth and nineteenth century potter's business in Peabody, Massachusetts. But the article also discusses the significance of the industry in Peabody and its impact on potter's businesses throughout New England and New York State. I also theorize how this important industry would have appeared had the eighteenth century industry in Charlestown, Massachusetts not been destroyed at the Battle of Bunker Hill on June 17, 1775.
My favorite part of the article is finally publishing a style of pottery that was produced in the Peabody-area, which seems to have been inspired from French production that took place in France in the late-eighteenth century. I first discovered this style of production when I reviewed a collection of red earthenware in storage that is owned today by the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts; whereas, this collection of pottery also retains a local history of ownership in Salem from the nineteenth century. To my knowledge, this type of production has never been acknowledged or published before.
For those, who do not have access to the magazine, I will post a .PDF link to my website sometime next month.
Note: The cover of this magazine features a wonderful locally-made French-inspired eighteenth century red earthenware dish that was uncovered by archaeologists at the site of the Museum of the American Revolution in Philadelphia.
