A Wonderful Red Earthenware Mug that Sold Last Night in Dover, New Hampshire

This is a much better visual of the nineteenth century red earthenware mug that sold last night at Devin Moisan's auction at the Elk's Hall in Dover, New Hampshire. The glaze is brilliant!  In fact, the glaze is very similar to a jug I own that I found two summers ago at an indoor flea market in Brunswick, Maine.

I still believe this object was likely manufactured in northern New England sometime during the early-nineteenth century. But what I also love about this mug is the fact that the base has been inscribed with the year "1776." This inscription was not created by the potter, but it was certainly accomplished a long time ago by an early owner.
