The variety of red earthenware recovered at the site of Stadt Huys Block in Manhattan within eighteenth and nineteenth century archaeological contexts is rather interesting seeing that it appears like a conglomerate of domestic wares. For example, there is a wide variety of slip-decoration represented, which appears like production from places such as Long Island, Philadelphia, as well as other locations.
However, the seventeenth century context for Sir Francis Lovelace's tavern is important for multiple reasons, which include examples of the city's seventeenth century red earthenware production from immigrant Dutch potters.
The following jug has been identified by archaeologists as a potential example of seventeenth century red earthenware production from New York City. It was recovered from within a barrel at the site of the tavern. It's remarkable to see this type of production today.
