I wrote, "I asked Paul if he knew anything about the history of the jar, and he said it was found in a local home by an antiques dealer. He said that dealer brought it to Todd's Farm Flea Market in Rowley, Massachusetts, but was not able to sell the jar. The dealer then brought the jar to the antique shows in Brimfield, Massachusetts, and that's where Paul purchased it."
My niece, Alexis and I also visited the site of William Pecker's pottery over the weekend, where we found some examples of Pecker's red earthenware and stoneware production. Those artifacts include two wonderfully decorated red earthenware sherds, which could easily be attributed to production in Maine today, along with a small group of stoneware artifacts, like a sherd decorated with some cobalt, as well as the partial remains of a few broken kiln bricks.
Note: I would also like to add that none of these objects were dug - but rather found near the shoreline.
